''Сonstraint'' versions of the arithmetic operations
The celsius-fahrenheit-converter procedure is cumbersome when compared with a more expression-oriented style of definition, such as
(define (celsius-fahrenheit-converter x)
(c+ (c* (c/ (cv 9) (cv 5))
x)
(cv 32)))
(define C (make-connector))
(define F (celsius-fahrenheit-converter C))
Here c+ , c* , etc. are the ''constraint'' versions of the arithmetic operations. For example, c+ takes two connectors as arguments and returns a connector that is related to these by an adder constraint:
(define (c+ x y)
(let ((z (make-connector)))
(adder x y z)
z))
Define analogous procedures c- , c* , c/ , and cv (constant value) that enable us to define compound constraints as in the converter example above.
