[racket] Is there a name for: (lambda (x) (x)) ?
Folks,
Am I missing something really basic here?
I have a list of thunks. I want to iterate over the results of these
using a high-order function ... map, for-each, filter (et al).
The only way I can find to do it is:
(map (lambda (x) (x))
(list
(lambda () 1)
(lambda () 2)
(lambda () 3))) -> '(1 2 3)
Is there a standard name for the (lambda (x) (x)) in racket?
Or do I have to write my own (define (call x) (x))?
Tim
