The report gives a defining description of the programming language
Scheme.  Scheme is a statically scoped and properly tail-recursive
dialect of the Lisp programming language invented by Guy Lewis
Steele Jr.: and Gerald Jay Sussman.  It was designed to have an
exceptionally clear and simple semantics and few different ways to
form expressions.  A wide variety of programming paradigms, including
imperative, functional, and message passing styles, find convenient
expression in Scheme.<br/><br/>The introduction offers a brief history of the language and of
the report.<br/><br/>The first three chapters present the fundamental ideas of the
language and describe the notational conventions used for describing the
language and for writing programs in the language.<br/><br/>Chapters <a href="r5rs-7.html#Expressions" class="inbound">Expressions</a> and <a href="r5rs-8.html#Program-structure" class="inbound">Program structure</a> describe
the syntax and semantics of expressions, programs, and definitions.<br/><br/>Chapter <a href="r5rs-9.html#Standard-procedures" class="inbound">Standard procedures</a> describes Scheme's built-in
procedures, which include all of the language's data manipulation and
input/output primitives.<br/><br/>Chapter <a href="r5rs-10.html#Formal-syntax-and-semantics" class="inbound">Formal syntax and semantics</a> provides a formal syntax for Scheme
written in extended BNF, along with a formal denotational semantics.
An example of the use of the language follows the formal syntax and
semantics.<br/><br/>The report concludes with a list of references and an
alphabetic index.<br/><br/><br/><br/>
