Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs: SICP
summary
Summarizes SICP by showing concrete C++ translations: implements pair-as-function and notes the meta‑circular evaluator idea, solves four exercises — sum of squares of two largest using std::accumulate/filter/map, even Fibonacci with lazy C++20 ranges, two Leibniz Pi series via iota/transform/zip, and finds Ramanujan taxi‑cab numbers (notably 1729 (Ramanujan)) by Cartesian product + adjacent grouping. Uses gcc 10.2/C++20, range‑v3/Godbolt and posts full code on GitHub so the exact algorithms and profiling are reproducible.
