Example Context globalBinding 001

 

 

Description

The globalBinding function returns the Symbol name for the corresponding value.

 

Details

The integer, "22", is assigned to the Symbol, "foo".

(define foo 22) Returns: 22
(globalBinding 22) Returns: foo

The string, "granny smith", is assigned to the Symbol, "apple".

(define apple "granny smith") Returns: granny smith
(globalBinding "granny smith") Returns: apple

Notes and Hints

Because global values are not unique it is possible to have more than one symbol in the symbol table that has the same global value. The globalBinding function returns the first match in the symbol table.

(define mackintosh "apple")

(define gala "apple")

(globalBinding "apple")

Returns: gala
