Homework 2

Every person has a name (stored as a string).

The following functions represent the user interface to the program.

(make-person ['name "person's name"])

creates a new person, with initial status as specified by the optional arguments, and returns the person object. For example,
(make-person 'name "Bloch") would return a person with name "Bloch".
I would more likely use this function in the form
(define bloch (make-person 'name "Bloch")) which not only creates a new instance of the class, but sets the variable "bloch" to refer to that instance.

(describe person)

prints the person's name, using the Scheme "display" function. It may or may not return anything useful.

(name-of person)

returns the person's name.

(slot-set! person 'name "new name") This is the ordinary TCLOS slot-set! function, which we can use to change the name of an existing person. You don't have to write this one, since it's already provided by TCLOS.
