| Because Scheme is an interpretive language, it binds variables to values during execution. The actual point in time at which this binding occurs for a given variable varies with the Scheme special form (let, let*, begin, define, etc.) used. If the program tries to read a variable that has no value bound to it, the Scheme Interpreter will generate an error message "unbound variable". | |||||
