I was asked whether it's ok to use a loop instead of recursion in Lab 3. Before answering I'd like to know what sort of loop you would use. Many loop options are covered in Chapter 9 of the text if you want to look ahead.

Apparently there is a package of code that implements loops. You can import it into Racket. I don't want you to do that unless you have read and can explain how the code works.

My recommendation is looking at the bottom of page 59 of the text for the list eater recursion for this lab.

That's a good example to look at to review your understanding of recursion. Also, look at the additional hint on the web page.
