Representation of line segments on the plane.
Consider the problem of representing line segments in a plane. Each segment is represented as a pair of points: a starting point and an ending point. Define a constructor
make-segment
and selectors
start-segment
and
end-segment
that define the representation of segments in terms of points. Furthermore, a point can be represented as a pair of numbers: the
x
coordinate and the
y
coordinate. Accordingly, specify a constructor
make-point
and selectors
x-point
and
y-point
that define this representation. Finally, using your selectors and constructors, define a procedure
midpoint-segment
that takes a line segment as argument and returns its midpoint (the point whose coordinates are the average of the coordinates of the endpoints). To try your procedures, you'll need a way to print points:
(define (print-point p)
(newline)
(display "(")
(display (x-point p))
(display ",")
(display (y-point p))
(display ")"))
