[racket] Understanding contracts
Hello,
I've been working on a sample project to better understand how to use the
contract system. I created a simple Bezier curve implementation and am
using (provide (contract-out...) to attach contracts to the provided
bindings.
Basically I have a procedure called cubic-bezier that accepts two control
point structs used to define the curve. It returns another procedure that
actually generates the curve, it accepts an integer parameter that lies on
[0, 1] and an optional keyword #:clamp-range. The generator procedure
returns a number.
The control point structure is a simple posn type that accepts X and Y
fields where X must be between 0 and 1, and Y is allowed to be any number.
Here are the contracts I defined provisionally:
(provide (contract-out
[struct bezier-control-point ((x (and/c number? (between/c 0 1)))
(y number?))]
[cubic-bezier (-> bezier-control-point?
bezier-control-point?
(->* ((and/c number? (between/c 0 1)))
(#:clamp-range boolean?)
number?))]))
For the contract attached to cubic-bezier using ->, my thinking was to use
->* to generate the contract for the procedure returned by cubic-bezier but
it's not working, meaning I'm not getting the any contract violations I'm
expecting when giving bad inputs to cubic-bezier's value.
How can I attach a more complex contract to cubic-bezier's value?
Thank you
Alexander McLin
