The grammar notation uses the notation X ... (bold dots) to indicate that X may occur an arbitrary number of times (zero, one, or more). Separately, the grammar also defines ... as an identifier to be used in templates.
See How to Design Programs/2e, Intermezzo 1 for an explanation of the Beginning Student Language.

make-structure-name : takes a number of arguments equal to the number of fields in the structure, and creates a new instance of that structure.

1.4 Signatures
Signatures do not have to be comment: They can also be part of the code. When a signature is attached to a function, DrRacket will check that program uses the function in accordance with the signature and display signature violations along with the test results.
A signature is a regular value, and is specified as a signature form, a special syntax that only works with : signature declarations and inside signature expressions.
syntax
(: name signature-form)
(: age Integer) (define age 42) (: area-of-square (Number -> Number)) (define (area-of-square len) (sqr len))
On running the program, Racket checks whether the signatures attached with : actually match the value of the variable. If they don’t, Racket reports signature violation along with test failures.
For example, this piece of code:
(: age Integer) (define age "fortytwo")
Yields this output:
1 signature violation. |
|
Signature violations: |
got "fortytwo" at line 2, column 12, signature at line 1, column 7 |
syntax
(signature signature-form)
1.4.1 Signature Forms
Any expression can be a signature form, in which case the signature is the value returned by that expression. There are a few special signature forms, however:
In a signature form, any name that starts with a % is a signature variable that stands for any signature depending on how the signature is used.
Example:
syntax
(input-signature-form ... -> output-signature-form)
syntax
(enum expr ...)
Example:
(: cute? ((enum "cat" "snake") -> Boolean)) (define (cute? pet) (cond [(string=? pet "cat") #t] [(string=? pet "snake") #f]))
syntax
(mixed signature-form ...)
Example:
syntax
(ListOf signature-form)
syntax
(predicate expression)
1.4.2 Struct Signatures
A define-struct form defines two additional names that can be used in signatures. For a struct called struct, these are Struct and StructOf. Note that these names are capitalized. In particular, a struct called Struct, will also define Struct and StructOf. Moreover, when forming the additional names, hyphens are removed, and each letter following a hyphen is capitalized - so a struct called foo-bar will define FooBar and FooBarOf.
Struct is a signature that describes struct values from this structure type. StructOf is a function that takes as input a signature for each field. It returns a signature describing values of this structure type, additionally describing the values of the fields of the value.
(define-struct pair [fst snd]) (: add-pair ((PairOf Number Number) -> Number)) (define (add-pair p) (+ (pair-fst p) (pair-snd p)))
1.5 Pre-defined Functions
The remaining subsections list those functions that are built into the programming language. All other functions are imported from a teachpack or must be defined in the program.
