Scheme Procedure: take lst i ​

Scheme Procedure: take! lst i ​

take! may modify the structure of the argument list lst in order to produce the result.

Scheme Procedure: drop lst i ​

Return a list containing all but the first i elements of lst.

Scheme Procedure: take-right lst i ​

Return a list containing the i last elements of lst. The return shares a common tail with lst.

Scheme Procedure: drop-right lst i ​

Scheme Procedure: drop-right! lst i ​

Return a list containing all but the i last elements of lst.

drop-right always returns a new list, even when i is zero. drop-right! may modify the structure of the argument list lst in order to produce the result.

Scheme Procedure: split-at lst i ​

Scheme Procedure: split-at! lst i ​

Return two values, a list containing the first i elements of the list lst and a list containing the remaining elements.

split-at! may modify the structure of the argument list lst in order to produce the result.

Scheme Procedure: last lst ​
