- 30 -In general, applying make_pair to arbitrary arguments:andgives:((make_pair ) ) ==((λfirst.λsecond.λfunc.((func first) second)) ) ) =>(λsecond.λfunc.((func ) second) ) =>λfunc.((func ) )Thereafter, applying this function to select_first returns the first argument:(λfunc.((func ) ) select_first) =>((select_first ) ) ==((λfirst.λ second.first ) ) =>(λsecond. ) =>and applying this function to select_second returns the second argument:(λfunc.((func ) ) select_second) =>((select_second ) ) ==((λfirst.λ second.second ) ) =>(λsecond.second ) =>2.13. Free and bound variablesWe are now going to consider how we ensure that arguments are substituted correctly for bound variables in functionbodies. If all the bound variables for functions in an expression have distinct names then there is no problem.For example, in:(λf.(f λx.x) λs.(s s))there are three functions. The first has bound variable f, the second has bound variable x and the third has boundvariable s. Thus:(λf.(f λx.x) λs.(s s)) =>(λs.(s s) λx.x) =>
- 31 -(λx.x λx.x) =>λx.xIt is possible, however, for bound variables in different functions to have the same name. Consider:(λf.(f λf.f) λs.(s s))This should give the same result as the previous expression. Here, the bound variable f should be replaced by:λs.(s s)Note that we should replace the first f in:(f λf.f)but not the f in the body of:λf.fThis is a new function with a new bound variable which just happens to have the same name as a previous boundvariable.To clarify this we need to be more specific about how bound variables relate to variables in function bodies. For anarbitrary function:λ.the bound variable may correspond to occurrences of in and nowhere else. Formally, thescope of the bound variable is .For example, in:λf.λs.(f (s s))the bound variable f is in scope in:In:λs.(f (s s))(λf.λg.λa.(f (g a)) λg.(g g))the leftmost bound variable f is in scope in:λg.λa.(f (g a))and nowhere else. Similarly, the rightmost bound variable g is in scope in:(g g)and nowhere else.Note that we have said may correspond. This is because the re-use of a name may alter a bound variable’s scope, aswe will see.Now we can introduce the idea of a variable being bound or free in an expression. A variable is said to be bound tooccurrences in the body of a function for which it is the bound variable provided no other functions within the body
