This section covers lilypond
and tab
for writing LilyPond files and engraving to sheet music with LilyPond, respectively. Examples of the various pieces of song metadata that can be passed to to these functions are provided.
The examples focus on tab
because this function generates the tablature whereas lilypond
only creates the LilyPond file that tab
renders via LilyPond. tab
is a wrapper around lilypond
. The two functions have the same arguments. tab
passes these along to lilypond
internally, except for one. tab
has keep_ly = FALSE
by default, which removes the .ly
file created by lilypond
following rendering of the file to pdf or png. To keep the LilyPond file, set this to TRUE
. See the function documentation for details.
By now you have seen many calls to tab
in order to show full examples in early tutorial sections. With sufficient coverage of phrases, tracks and scores, and the progression through them, now it is time to go into detail on all the render time arguments that can be supplied that apply to the entire piece of tablature and any metadata or general song information associated with it.
These are the most critical components that can be supplied to lilypond
. These are the three arguments immediately after the input score
and output file
. While they have default values, they will almost invariably need to be changed for just about any song. key
specifies the key signature, e.g. key ="dm"
. Key changes in the middle of a song are not supported, but you can always edit the LilyPond file by hand to make highly customized changes. time
gives the time signature, defaulting to common time, or 4/4 time. tempo
provides the song tempo, defaulting to tempo = "2 = 60"
. Note that key
takes the tabr
consistent key signature notation whereas time
and tempo
take literal LilyPond strings. Look up options for these strings if you are not familiar with them in LilyPond.
Throughout this tutorial section, the guitar and bass example from the section on tracks and scores is reused. The chord chart and chord sequence are retained to provide the most complete illustration of a rendered score.  Given what is written, it doesn’t make sense to change them all. For example, this won’t fit well as a waltz (time = “3/4”). But for illustration purposes, pretend the song is actually in the key of D minor (F major). This key has one flat, B, so this will force the B note in the G chord to be annotated as an accidental. Change the time to 2/2
just for the sake of changing it, which won’t really be any different from 4/4
except you will see a line through the common time symbol. Finally, change the tempo to 4 = 120
, which is also equivalent to the default, but will show up in the output slightly differently as well.
Notice how the key change alone, which added room for a single flat symbol to be squeezed into the start of the treble and bass clef staves, was enough to push everything to the point of wrapping around onto a second entire line compared to the earlier tutorial section where it all fit on one line. This is because it was a really tight fit to in the previous examples and there was not enough room for LilyPond to continue fitting everything on one line with this slight widening created by the key change. LilyPond generates sheet music with a somewhat responsive layout engraver. It won’t leave everything on line one jam packaged and push a single measure to the line two. This will return to fitting on one line in a moment when we revert the key change.
The output file specified with file
ends in pdf in every example. However, you can switch to png output simply by specifying a file name with that extension. file
can specify just the file named or the path to the file. The path may be relative or absolute. Optionally, the path to the output file can be passed separately to path
, which otherwise defaults to NULL
.
The next important argument to lilypond
is header
. header
takes a named list of character strings that are used to fill in general song information such as the title and composer. All previous examples were blank above the tabs because none of this information was ever provided. Below an example is given that uses all available arguments. You can use any subset of these. There is no requirement to supply them all. This example just shows what is available. Several of these would likely not be used in most cases.
header <- list(
title = "Song title",
composer = "Words and music by the composer",
performer = "Song performer",
album = "Album title",
subtitle = "Subtitle",
arranger = "Arranged by tab arranger",
copyright = "2018 <Record Label>",
instrument = "guitar and bass",
tagline = "A tagline",
meter = "meter tag", opus = "opus tag", piece = "piece tag", poet = "poet tag"
)
tab(song, "ex33.pdf", header = header)
The copyright and tagline are cutoff in the above image, but in your pdf you will see these if you scroll to the bottom of the rendered page.
You have probably noticed by now that every time a pdf if rendered, an accompanying MIDI file is also generated. This can be turned off with midi = FALSE
. This specification goes into the LilyPond file itself via lilypond
. Therefore, no MIDI output will be created even if you create the LilyPond file with lilypond
but convert that to pdf with LilyPond outside of R.
One thing to note about MIDI files is that tabr
will unfold any repeats that occur in a song due to calls to rp
, pct
or volta
. This allows the MIDI file to play everything the proper number of times rather than ending prematurely by not being able to read repeat notation.
Also, tabr
is a package aimed at creating guitar tablature. It is not concerned with MIDI or audio signals and audio data in general. Any MIDI functionality is considered to be an extra feature and does not receive priority development or support. At this time, there is no way to make other alterations to the MIDI file internals. MIDI output can be toggled on or off as mentioned. And without you having to do anything, MIDI output will respect repeat notation in the rendered LilyPond file. MIDI output will also automatically be transposed to match a transposition that is applied to a music staff (under reasonable and simplified conditions).
The string_names
argument defaults to NULL
. This means that standard tuning is never specified alongside the lines of a tab staff at the beginning of the tablature. However, any other tuning will be explicitly noted so the reader is aware of the alternate tuning of any applicable track. This can also be set to TRUE
to force all tunings to be explicit including standard guitar tuning or FALSE
to suppress them all (though it is unclear what value there is in the FALSE
setting).
There is some nominal level of control over the paper layout via paper
. Like header
, this is a named list. The defaults are fine so you probably do not need to alter most of these values. There are six options, all numeric except for page_numbers
, which is logical.
textheight
linewidth
indent
first_page_number
page_numbers
fontsize
If you pass any values for some of these in a named list to paper
, any not passed will retain their built in defaults. You do not have to supply them all when using paper
.
For more detail on these settings and others further above, see the help documentation, ?lilypond
.

Filtered Streams¶
Filtered stream return tweets matching a specific set of criteria. (twitter doc)
Filtered streams support 3 type of filters, track (text content), location and users.
The sample stream supports all the generic stream functionalities. Read more about streams.
// Create a simple stream containing only tweets with the keyword France
var stream = userClient.Streams.CreateFilteredStream();
stream.AddTrack("france");
stream.MatchingTweetReceived += (sender, eventReceived) =>
{
Console.WriteLine(eventReceived.Tweet);
};
await stream.StartMatchingAnyConditionAsync();
MatchingTweetReceived¶
MatchingTweetReceived
event contains multiple information helping you understand why the event was triggered.
MatchingTweetReceived - Properties¶
MatchOn
- states which part of the tweet matched the filters criteria.QuotedTweetMatchOn
- states which part of the quoted tweet matched the filters criteria.
| MatchOn | Description |
|---|---|
| TweetText | The text of the tweet matched at least one of the stream track filters |
| Follower | The user who created the tweet matched at least one of the stream follow filters |
| TweetLocation | The location where the tweet was published matched at least one of the stream location filters |
| FollowerInReplyTo | The tweet was published to a user matching one of the stream follow filters |
| AllEntities | Any of the entities matches one of the stream track filters |
| URLEntities | At least one of the tweet url entity matches one of the stream track filters |
| HashTagEntities | At least one of the tweet hashtag entity matches one of the stream track filters |
| UserMentionEntities | At least one of the tweet user mention entity matches one of the stream track filters |
| SymbolEntities | At least one of the tweet symbol entity matches one of the stream track filters |
MatchingTracks
- contains all the tracks that the tweet matched.MatchingFollowers
- contains all the user ids matching the followed users.MatchingLocations
- contains all the locations that the tweet matched
QuotedTweetMatchingTracks
- contains all the tracks that the quoted tweet matched.QuotedTweetMatchingFollowers
- contains all the user ids included in the quoted tweet matching the followed users.QuotedTweetMatchingLocations
- contains all the locations that the quoted tweet matched
MatchingTweetReceived - MatchOn¶
Tweetinvi let you filter the results based on where the content was matched.
The stream.MatchOn
property creates a filter and the MatchingTweetReceived
will only be triggered if this condition is met.
By default stream.MatchOn
is set to MatchOn.Everything
, which means that any tweet received regardless of the reason will trigger the MatchingTweetReceived
.
// configure the filtered stream to only trigger when a track was found in
// EITHER the text of tweet OR in the urls of the tweet
stream.MatchOn = MatchOn.TweetText | MatchOn.URLEntities;
Start Stream¶
Filtered stream can be started in 2 modes, ANY or ALL.
They define the conditions required for the MatchingTweetReceived
event to be triggered.
| ANY | ALL | |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger Conditions | A tweet matches EITHER a track OR a location OR a user | A tweet matches BOTH a track AND a location AND a user |
| Invoke With | await stream.StartMatchingAnyConditionAsync(); |
await stream.StartMatchingAllConditionsAsync(); |
Table comparing Any and All behaviour
var stream = userClient.Streams.CreateFilteredStream();
stream.AddTrack("france");
stream.AddTrack("hello world");
stream.AddFollow(42);
// ANY
await stream.StartMatchingAnyConditionAsync();
// ALL
await stream.StartMatchingAllConditionsAsync();
| Tweet Text | Published By | Matched by ANY | Matched by ALL | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| candy | UserId: 1 | NO | NO | ANY and ALL are not matched as "candy" is not tracked |
| hello | UserId: 1 | NO | NO | ANY and ALL are not matched as "hello" alone is not tracked, the text also need to contain "world" |
| hello world | UserId: 1 | YES | NO | ANY matched as "hello" and "world" are tracked ALL is not matched as user id is not 42 |
| france | UserId: 1 | YES | NO | ANY matched as "france" is tracked ALL is not matched as user id is not 42 |
| hello world france | UserId: 1 | YES | NO | ANY matched as "hello world" and "france" are tracked ALL is not matched as user id is not 42 |
| candy | UserId: 42 | YES | NO | ANY matched as tweet comes from user 42 ALL is not matched as "candy" is not tracked |
| hello | UserId: 42 | YES | NO | ANY matched as tweet comes from user 42 ALL is not matched as "hello" alone is not tracked |
| hello world | UserId: 42 | YES | YES | ANY matched as it needed either "hello world" tracked OR the tweet to be published by user 42 ALL matched as "hello world" is tracked AND tweet was published by user 42 |
| france | UserId: 42 | YES | YES | ANY matched as it needed either "france" tracked OR the tweet to be published by user 42 ALL matched as "france" is tracked AND tweet was published by user 42 |
| hello world france | UserId: 42 | YES | YES | ANY matched as it needed either ("hello world" OR "france") tracked OR the tweet to be published by user 42ALL matched as it needed either ("hello world" OR "france") tracked AND tweet was published by user 42 |
Events per filter¶
MatchingTweetReceived
allow you to find out when a tweet matching your filters criteria was received.
When creating a filter you can associate a callback that will be invoked when this filter is being matched.
stream.AddTrack("hello", tweet =>
{
// A tweet containing 'hello' was found!
});
stream.AddTrack("bonjour", tweet =>
{
// A tweet containing 'bonjour' was found!
});
stream.AddFollow(tweetinviapi, tweet =>
{
// A tweet was published by or related to the tweetinviapi
});
stream.AddLocation(centerOfNewYork, tweet =>
{
// A tweet was published from the middle of center of New York City
});
stream.MatchingTweetReceived += (sender, eventReceived) =>
{
// A tweet containing EITHER 'hello' OR 'bonjour' was found
};
Events¶
The filtered stream supports all the generic stream events.
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| MatchingTweetReceived | Indicates that a tweet matching the criteria you specified was created |
| NonMatchingTweetReceived | Indicates that a tweet that is not matching the criteria was received (read more below) |
NonMatchingTweetReceived
event can be triggered when:
Your
MatchOn
stream filters has prevented this tweet from being matchedTweetinvi library can perform additional filters that Twitter do not support.

YOU CAN COUNT ON ME A film review by Norm Schrager Copyright 2000 filmcritic.com filmcritic.com
You Can Count on Me is a film that, in true Sundance form, mixes the familiar with the unexpected. The Best Dramatic Film winner from this year's festival has some actors we've seen before (including Matthew Broderick) and some traditional storylines (single Mom's troubles, loner returns to hometown), but first-time writer-director Ken Lonergan adds just enough unpredictable dialogue and creativity to make this movie the real deal.
The single Mom is Sammy (Laura Linney), an organized bank loan officer living in her small-town childhood home. The loner is her scraggly brother Terry (Mark Ruffalo), a troubled wanderer coming back to ask Sammy for cash. And while this seems pretty basic from the outset, Lonergan has some smart ideas up his sleeve.
Most notable is the way he uses the character Rudy, Sammy's 8-year old son, a kid utilized by Lonergan as well as any writer has ever used a child, avoiding action that seems cutesy or contrived. Sammy would love for Terry to be a strong male influence on Rudy while he's visiting, but she isn't sure she trusts him.
Rudy (played by 11-year old Rory Culkin -- yes, another Culkin), connects with Terry but is smart enough to know that his uncle's not the brightest guy in the world. Their dialogue is the highlight of the movie; there hasn't been such straight talk between two guys in a film in a long time. In essence, Lonergan has written Rudy as a young boy that has enough understanding to take people as they are.
Alas, Sammy should be so smart. She tries to anchor Terry, give him home, give him purpose -- but maybe she needs all of the above as well. The director never misses the opportunity to show the dichotomy and the irony between the two siblings, but thankfully doesn't beat us over the head with it.
Lonergan, who previously wrote The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, has put together a killer cast to take advantage of his fine script. Linney (The Truman Show) gets a once-in-a-career chance to shine, giving Sammy the delicate balance between saint and whore. Ruffalo and young Culkin are just great -- both are as meaningful and natural as it gets -- and the aforementioned Broderick admirably takes a lesser role as Sammy's new boss, a man who's got troubles of his own.
You Can Count On Me is directed and edited with a refreshing efficiency, with Lonergan preferring to simply move along to the next scene if you already know how this one will end. We don't need to see two people stare at each other, start making out, and then jump into bed. Lonergan gives us the stare, and then cuts to the bed after the sex is over. It provides a nice dose of surprise and complexity throughout the movie.
The movie's dramatic flavor is occasionally peppered with some quality laughs, in a healthy combination that also keeps the film moving, which is good. But in the most unorthodox move of all, You Can Count On Me really doesn't have any dramatic climax, no grand moment of epiphany. It's just an intelligent look into a connected set of lives, in which a neatly-tied ending isn't as important as the details that make up each day.

Many people find Lisp s-expressions hard to read as a programming notation. This paper briefly describes 3 layered alternatives I've developed (curly infix, modern-expressions, and sweet-expressions), and shows how to download and run free-libre/open source software that implements them. It also has some style suggestions. These formats are not tied to any particular Lisp system, and can do everything regular s-expressions can do. You don't need to be familiar with Lisp-like languages to understand this tutorial, though it helps.
Lisp-derived systems normally represent programs as s-expressions, where an operation and its parameters is surrounded by parentheses. The operation to be performed is identified first, and each parameter afterwards is separated by whitespace. So the traditional “2+3” is written as “(+ 2 3)” in a Lisp-derived language. S-expressions make it unusually easy for programs to read, process, and generate programs. This can make some programs considerably easier to create, as well as much easier to automatically analyze or prove.
Unfortunately, programs in S-expression format can be hard to read. Lisp S-expressions fail to support infix notation, its notation for making function calls is completely different than most programming languages and math books, and it requires using and balancing endless parentheses. The last problem can be partly overcome through tools, but why use a notation that's so bad that such tools are important? It'd be better to have a notation that people can easily read in the first place.
So I've developed three notations, each building on the previous; the final "sweet-expressions" is the most readable. They are simply new abbreviations for common cases (Lisp has traditionally had several abbreviations, but not these important ones). These new notations/abbreviations are:
Take a look at some examples, and compare sweet-expressions to the ugly old s-expressions:
| (Ugly) S-expression | Sweet-expression 0.2 |
|---|---|
(define (fibfast n) (if (< n 2) n (fibup n 2 1 0))) |
define fibfast(n) ; Typical function notation if {n < 2} ; Indentation, infix {...} n ; Single expr = no new list fibup(n 2 1 0) ; Simple function calls |
(define (fibup max count n-1 n-2) (if (= max count) (+ n-1 n-2) (fibup max (+ count 1) (+ n-1 n-2) n-1))) |
define fibup(max count n-1 n-2) if {max = count} {n-1 + n-2} fibup max {count + 1} {n-1 + n-2} n-1 |
(define (factorial n) (if (<= n 1) 1 (* n (factorial (- n 1))))) |
define factorial(n) if {n <= 1} 1 {n * factorial{n - 1}} ; f{...} => f({...}) |
This example uses variable names with embedded "-" characters; that's not a problem, because the infix operators must be surrounded by whitespace and are only used when {...} requests them.
Credit where credit is due: The Fibonacci number code is loosely based on an example by Hanson Char.
In short, "Sweet-expressions" are a mostly-backward-compatible format of s-expressions that are easier to read. A sweet-expression reader will accept traditional s-expressions, but it also supports various extensions that make it easier to read (especially for those less familar with s-expressions). Sweet-expressions are automatically translated into s-expressions, and are carefully crafted so they lose no power.
If you are already very familiar with Lisp-derived languages, see my web page on readable s-expressions which discusses this further.
I've implemented a demo implementation of curly infix, modern-expressions, and sweet-expressions. I really want people to try this out and give feedback.
To try the demos out, make sure you have GNU Guile (an implementation of the Scheme dialect of Lisp), expect, and the software configuration management tool "Subversion" (whose command line name is "svn"). You should also have a Common Lisp implementation; here I'll presume it is clisp, but it doesn't really matter. You should be running on a POSIX system; if you use Windows, you may need to install Cygwin first. Any modern GNU/Linux system will do nicely.
First, download the latest version of the demo and related files using Subversion:
svn co https://readable.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/readable/trunk readable
This will create a subdirectory called readable, so "cd" into it:
cd readable
Let's first try out "curly infix". Start up your Common Lisp (I'll presume it's clisp), and load the curly-infix demo:
clisp (load "curly-infix.cl")
Any of these three new notations (curly infix, modern-expressions, and sweet-expressions) can also accept normally-formatted s-expressions. So you can type in at the command line:
(+ 2 3)and when you press enter you'll see 5.
But "Curly infix" adds the ability to use {...} around infix operators. So just type this in:
{2 + 3}and you will see 5. Look! You now have a calculator! It's important to realize this is a simple syntactic convenience — an abbreviation. Traditional Lisp actually includes many abbreviations, for example, 'x is a traditional abbreviation for (quote x), so this is just another one and does not change how "Lisp works". Thus, if you enter:
'{2 + 3}it will respond with '(+ 2 3).
There is intentionally no support for precedence between different operators. While precedence is useful in some circumstances, in typical uses for Lisp-derived languages and sweet-expressions, it doesn't help and is often harmful. This is not a problem at all, just use curly braces or parentheses when mixing different infix operators:
{2 + {3 * 4}}
You can "chain" the same infix operator, e.g., {2 + 3 + 4} is fine, and it will map to (+ 2 3 4). Note that the infix operator must be surrounded by whitespace - otherwise, it would have no way to know where the name of the operation begins or ends.
What happens if we do use multiple infix operators in a single list? Instead of trying to guess the precedence, the reader will simply turn it into a list with "nfx" at front. You can then define a macro named "nfx" to process the list, or define "nfx" as an error to prevent its use.
So this explains the real rule: in curly infix, the {...} contains an "infix list". If the enclosed infix list has (1) an odd number of parameters, (2) at least 3 parameters, and (3) all even parameters are the same symbol, then it is mapped to "(even-parameter odd-parameters)". Otherwise, it is mapped to "(nfx list)" — you'll need to have a macro named "nfx" to use it.
Note that curly infix intentionally does not force a particular precedence, nor does it automatically switch to infix operators recursively inside {...}. Many previous systems did that, but this turned out to interfere with many of Lisp's power (homoiconicity, multiple levels of language, and so on). It also does not attempt to guess when infix operators are used. After many experiments with real problems, I found that the rule as given actually works better for Lisps than those alternatives.
You can type control-D (Windows: control-Z) to end this demo.
Now let's try out modern-expressions, but this time using guile (a Scheme implementation):
./modern-guile
Modern-expressions include curly-infix, but adds special meanings to the grouping symbols (), [], and {} if they immediately follow a symbol or list (instead of being separated by whitespace).
This means that you can use more "traditional" functional notation, e.g., f(1 2) maps to (f 1 2). Just type in the name of a function, an opening "(", its parameters (space-separated), and a closing ")". Make sure that you do not have a space before the (prefixed) function name and the following "(". For example, type this in:
cos(0)and get a very reasonable response. Here's another - try this:
substring("Hello" 1 3)This will produce "el".
You can nest them, just as you'd expect:
substring("Hello" 1 string-length("xyz"))
Using function name prefixes is a nice way of showing negation, e.g., -(x) computes the value of 0 - x. So while curly infix by itself doesn't handle prefix functions, modern-expressions can handle them nicely:
{-(n) / 2}
You can even use function name prefixes with traditional binary operators, such as:
*(5 4)
This works with zero parameters, too; if you have a command called "help" (guile does), and choose not to give it any parameters, just type this (without pressing space before typing it in):
help()
It's actually quite common to have a function call pass one parameter, where the parameter is calculated using infix notation, so there's a rule to simplify this common case. You can use f{x + 1}, which maps to (f {x + 1}) which then maps to (f (+ x 1)). This makes it easy to pass a single parameter which happens to be calculated using infix. For example, factorial{n - 1} maps to factorial({n - 1}) which maps to (factorial (- n 1)).
not{#t and #f}
Just like traditional s-expressions, spaces separate parameters, so it's important that there be no space between the function name and the opening "(". Since spaces separate parameters, a space between the function name and the opening "(" would create two parameters instead of a single function call. The same is basically true for traditional s-expressions, too; (a b) and (ab) are not the same thing.
Here's the real rule: in modern-expressions, f(...) maps to (f ...), f{...} maps to (f {...}), and f[...] maps to (bracketaccess f), but in all cases only when f is a symbol or list. The "bracketaccess" is so that you can write a macro to access arrays and other mappings. Unprefixed (...) and [...] mean "create a list" (as they do in Scheme R6RS), but they may contain other modern-expressions.
Normally, people and pretty-printers will format Lisp code so that parameters inside a list are separated by whitespace, e.g., (a b c), so it turns out that this change in interpretation doesn't change the meaning of typically-formatted modern Lisp code (and you can pretty-print code to fix it). What's more, typical Lisp-aware text editors can work with modern-expressions as they are, without change... so if you don't want to change the way you work, but have a somewhat more readable notation, modern-expressions can help. But we still have to do all that parentheses-balancing, which hinders readability. So let's fix that too. Type control-D to get out of this demo.
Sweet-expressions takes modern-expressions and adds indentation as being syntactically meaningful. Let's try them out:
./sweet-guile
Here, an indented line is a parameter of its parent, later terms on a line are parameters of the first term, and lists of lists are marked with "group". A line with exactly one term, and no child lines, is simply that item; otherwise that line and its child lines are themselves a new list. Lines with only a ;-comment, and nothing else, are completely ignored - even their indentation is irrelevant. Whitespace-only lines at the beginning of a new expression are ignored, but a whitespace-only line (including a zero-length line) ends an expression. So, just type in your expression, and type a blank line (an extra Enter) to indicate that you're done.
Here's a trivial example:
substring "Hello" 1 3
What happens if the parameters are not constants, but something to be calculated? No problem, just put them on new lines and give them parameters. If something has parameters, then it must be something to calculate too! Here's another example (be sure to press at least one space before the 'substring'):
substring "Hello" 1 string-length "xyz"You can use parentheses, too; inside any grouping characters (...), [...], and {...}, indentation is ignored:
substring "Hello" 1 string-length("xyz")Here are some other valid sweet-expressions:
if {7 < 5} {3 + 4} {5 * {2 + 3}} abs{0 - 5}
Here's a more substantial example, one we've seen earlier:
define fibfast(n) ; Typical function notation if {n < 2} ; Indentation, infix {...} n ; Single expr = no new list fibup(n 2 1 0) ; Simple function calls define fibup(max count n-1 n-2) if {max = count} {n-1 + n-2} fibup(max {count + 1} {n-1 + n-2} n-1)
Sometimes you want to have a parameter that is a list of lists, or where the function to be called is in fact determined by another calculation. This is indicated with the "group" keyword; basically, "group" maps into a null function name, so you can use forms like "let" easily.
sweet-filter that lets you read in many sweet-expressions, and outputs the underlying s-expressions. You can use this to process files (say, in a makefile) so that you can write in sweet-expressions, yet be able to see what will be run by the underlying system.
When you're done with the demo, you can exit:
exit()
If you're familiar with traditional s-expressions, here are more examples. The left-hand-side are sweet-expressions; the right-hand-side are the transitional s-expression forms, though the sweet-expression reader can read them as well:
factorial(z) <==> (factorial z) foo(x y) <==> (foo x y) bar(x y z) <==> (bar x y z) factorial{x - 1} <==> (factorial {x - 1}) <==> (factorial (- x 1)) f(g(y) h(y) a) <==> (f (g y) (h y) a) f({x + 2} y {z - 3}) <==> (f (+ x 2) y (- z 3)) f{{x + 2} * {y - 3}} <==> (f (* (+ x 2) (- y 3)))
If you aren't familiar with Lisp, you may say "what's the big deal"? After all, this looks a lot like traditional languages. Many have commented that it looks like Python, with its use of indenting, and of course nearly all other languages use infix notation.
But that's the point - the results look much more familiar (and thus are more acceptable to non-Lispers), but all of Lisp's more exotic capabilities still work. You can use techniques like quoting (') and quasi-quoting (`) with lifting (,), which enable powerful capabilities. Many people have created "infix" notations with Lisp-like languages before, but they all failed to work with many other Lisp features. I think this approach succeeds instead, where others before have failed.
Here are the full rules, in one place, now that we've gone over them:
If you're using sweet-expressions, the bottom line for style is "make it easy to read". But here are a few suggestions that should help you do so in most cases. I presume an 80-character width for program text; sweet-expressions don't require them, but it can be annoying to handle overwide source code.
In general, use indentation to make it easy to see the larger-scale structure of a program or data. Typically major structural atoms should start a new line, including defining a new term (e.g., "define" and "let"), conditionals (e.g., "if" and "cond"), and loops (e.g., "loop"). For example, the traditional "cond" function of Common Lisp looks like this:
(cond (test-1 consequent-1-1 consequent-1-2 ...) (test-2) (test-3 consequent-3-1 ...) ... )This is easily implemented as:
cond test-1 consequent-1-1 consequent-1-2 ... test-2() test-3 consequent-3-1 ... ...
Indent as necessary to make it easy to understand. For example, if the consequents for test-1 (above) are long, indent them too:
cond test-1 consequent-1-1 consequent-1-2 ... test-2() test-3 consequent-3-1 ... ...
Use a consistent amount of indenting for each level. I tend to use 2 spaces for indentation; indentation nesting is more common in sweet-expressions, so 8-character indentations are often too much.
When calling a function, if the parameters will fit easily on a line if you use function notation like f(x y(z)), then put them all on a line. When you're calling a function with no parameters, use function-calling format with "()" at the end, e.g., "f()". Here's a good example (this example is for Scheme):
cond list?(x) extractify(car(x)) atom?(x) x #t #f
In general, indentation is used for the major "structural" elements of a program, and function calls get used once you're "near the leaf" of structure (where you won't go beyond the end of the line).
If you are providing a list of data (and not performing a function/method call), then use the traditional list notation such as "(a b c)". This is exactly equivalent to "a(b c)", but expressing it as a list will give the human reader a hint that this data is not considered a potential program. If it's used as both data and as program, then consider it a program, and use function call notation.
Occasionally you may what to use function call notation even if the parameters won't fit in a line, because once inside a function call indentation processing isn't relevant - and that can be useful.
If the function is typically written as infix (including "+", "*", "or", and "<"), use {...} to write it as an infix value. Generally these operators will be "and", "or", or an operator that only uses punctuation. If you're calling a function with only one parameter, and that parameter is calculated with an infix operation, use the f{...} shorthand. You can see all of these suggestions in this example:
define factorial(n) if {n <= 1} 1 {n * factorial{n - 1}} ; f{...} => f({...})
However, you may want to keep using prefix form if indentation still matters and one or more of the parameters is exceedingly complex (e.g., it's nested very deeply or includes program structuring forms like "cond" and "define"). This situation can often occur with "and" and "or" if you're using a functional programming style.
Where it's understandable, don't include unnecessary parentheses. For example, when indentation processing is active, don't do this:
myfunction(1 a(2) 3)
Instead, do this:
myfunction 1 a(2) 3
The latter is easier for humans to read, because the human reader has one less pair of parentheses to track.
Remember that "f(x)" is completely different from "f (x)"; the former means the 2-element list "(f x)", while the latter means an atom followed by a single-element list, "f (x)". In sweet-expressions (and traditional Lisp notation), whitespace is a separator, so for sweet-expression prefixed function calls, be sure to not put a space between the function name and the open paren.
You can put whitespace after the "(", or before the ")", and it'll make no difference, so "f(x)" and "f( x )" are equivalent. However, as a style I suggest not inserting this unnecessary space in most cases. That way, any whitespace between an atom and open paren is "unusual" and will catch the eye, making it easier to read.
If one of the parameters is a "list of lists", and indentation is still valid, use "group". The "let" form of Common Lisp is an example; it's traditionally written as:
(let ((var1 value1) (var2 value2) ... (varm valuem)) declaration1 declaration2 ... declarationp body1 body2 ... bodyn)
I suggest writing such functions this way; after a while, you mentally realize that "let's first parameter is a group":
let group var1 value1 var2 value2 ... varm valuem declaration1 declaration2 ... declarationp body1 body2 ... bodyn
But if the group-of-groups so trivial that the traditional list notation will easily fit on one line, use the traditional list notation instead (it's short). For example:
let ((var1 value1) (var2 value2)) body1 body2
Sweet-expressions can take a few minutes to learn how to use, just like anything else new. But I think they are worth it. If you want more details on the rules, and/or why they are the way they are, see the sweet expressions paper.
For more information, see my website page at http://www.dwheeler.com/readable. For example, I provide a sweet-expression reader in Scheme (under the MIT license), as well as an indenting pretty-printer in Common Lisp. In particular, you can see my lengthy paper about why sweet-expressions do what they do, and some plausible alternatives, and my follow-on paper on sweet-expressions version 0.2. You can also download some other implementation code. I've also set up a SourceForge project where options like sweet-expressions can be discussed; if you're interested, please join!


It has efficient implementations and a formal definition
with a proof of soundness.
- Safe
-
ML is safe, in that a program that passes the type-checker
cannot dump core, access private fields of abstract data types,
mistake integers for pointers, or otherwise "go wrong."
- Modular
-
The Standard ML module system supports modules (called structures)
and interfaces (called signatures); the signature of a module
determines what components and types from the module are visible
from outside. There is a flexible system for matching structures
to signatures: there can be several different views (signatures)
of the same structure, and there can be several different
implementations (structures) matching the same signature.
- Functional
-
ML has higher-order functions: functions can be passed
as arguments, stored in data structures, and returned as results
of function calls. Functions can be statically nested within
other functions; this lexical scoping mechanism gives the ability
to create "new" functions at run time.
- Strict
-
Function calls in ML, like those of C, Pascal, C++, Java, etc., evaluate
their arguments before entering the body of the function.
Such a language is called strict or call-by-value,
in contrast to some functional programming languages that
are lazy or call-by-need. Strict evaluation makes it
easier for the programmer to reason about the execution of the program.
- Polymorphic
-
ML supports polymorphic functions and data types.
Data-type polymorphism
allows a single type declaration (such as "list") to describe
lists of integers, lists of strings, lists of lists of integers, and so on;
but the programmer can be assured that, given an "int list",
every element really is an "int". Function polymorphism allows
a single function declaration (such as filter_list) to operate on
lists of integers, lists of strings, lists of integer-lists,
and so on, avoid needless duplication of code.
- Compile-time type checking
-
Programmers in compile-time type-checked languages get the
benefit not only of faster execution but also less debugging:
many of the programmer's mistakes can be caught early in the
development process; and the types may lead to clearer thinking about
the program's specification.
- Type inference
-
The ML programmer need not write down the type of every
variable and function-parameter: the compiler can usually
calculate the type from context. This makes programs more
concise and easier to write.
- Garbage collection
-
Automatic deallocation of unreachable data makes programs
simpler, cleaner, and more reliable.
- Exception handling
-
ML's exception-handling mechanism -- similar to the ones
in C++, Java, Ada, etc. -- provides dynamic nesting of handlers
and eliminates the need for ad hoc, special exceptional
return values from functions.
- Immutable data types
-
In ML, most variables and
data structures -- once created and initialized -- are
immutable, meaning that they are never changed, updated, or
stored into. This leads to some powerful guarantees of noninterference
by different parts of the program operating on those data structures.
In a functional language such as ML, one tends to build new data
structures (and let the old ones be garbage collected) instead of
modifying old ones.
- Updatable references
-
However, ML does have updatable (assignable) reference types,
so that in those cases where destructive update is the most natural
way to express an algorithm, one can express it directly.
- Abstract data types
-
ML supports information hiding, so that one can implement a data
type whose representation is hidden by an interface that just exports
functions to construct and operate on the type.
- Parametric modules
-
A functor is an ML program module takes the signature
of another module as an argument. The functor can then be applied to
any module matching that signature. This facility is like the
template of C++ or the generic of Ada or Modula-3,
but in ML the functor can be completely type-checked and compiled
to machine code before it is applied to its argument(s); this leads
to better program modularity.
- Efficient implementations
-
Features such as polymorphism, parametric modules, and a heavy
reliance on garbage collection have meant that compiling ML to efficient
machine code requires techniques not usually necessary in C compilers.
Several Standard ML
compilers generate high-quality machine code, including
Standard ML of New Jersey and
Harlequin ML Works.
- Formal definition
-
The ML language is clearly specified by
The Definition of Standard ML
(Revised) (Milner, Tofte, Harper, MacQueen, MIT Press, 1997),
which defines the language in 93 pages of mathematical notation and
English prose. This book is not meant for the casual reader, but
it is accessible to the serious student of programming languages and
its existence and accessibility provide an implementation-independent
formulation of Standard ML.
- Proof of soundness
-
A consequence of having the language definition in a formal notation
is that one can
prove
important properties of the language, such as
deterministic evaluation or soundness of type-checking.

Process data to be included in a latex template. Called via
python -m cocopp [OPTIONS] DATAFOLDER1 DATAFOLDER2 ...
For a detailed help, simply type
python -m cocopp

Main routine for post-processing data from COCO. Synopsis:: python -m cocopp [data_folder [more_data_folders]] or:: python -c "import cocopp; cocopp.main('data_folder [more_data_folders]')" For this call to work, the path to this package must be in python search path, that is, * it can be in the current working directory, or * the path to the package was appended to the Python path, or * the package was installed (which essentially copies the package to a location which is in the path) ``data_folder`` may be a name from the known data archive, see e.g. `cocopp.bbob`, or a uniquely matching substring of such a name, or a matching substring with added "!" in which case the first match is taken, or a matching substring with added "*" in which case all matches are taken, or a regular expression containing a '*' before the last character, in which case, for example, "bbob/.*7.*cma" matches "bbob/2017/DTS-CMA-ES-Pitra.tgz" (among others). This routine will: * call sub-routine :py:func:`cocopp.rungeneric1.main` for one input argument (see also --include-single option); the input argument will be used as output sub-folder relative to the main output folder, * call sub-routine :py:func:`cocopp.rungenericmany.main` (2 or more input arguments) for the input arguments altogether. * alternatively call sub-routine :py:func:`cocopp.__main__.main` if option flag --test is used. In this case it will run through the post-processing tests. Usecase from a Python shell --------------------------- To fine-control the behavior of the module, it is highly recommended to work from an (I)Python shell. For example:: import cocopp cocopp.genericsettings.background = {None: cocopp.bbob.get_all("2009/")} cocopp.main("data_folder " + cocopp.data_archive.get("2009/BFGS_ros_noiseless")) compares an experiment given in `"data_folder"` with BFGS and displays all archived results from 2009 in the background. `cocopp.bbob` is a `cocopp.archiving.COCODataArchive` class. This may take 5-15 minutes to complete, because more than 30 algorithm datasets are processed. Output ------ The output figures and tables written by default to the output folder :file:`ppdata` are used in the provided LaTeX templates: * :file:`*article.tex` and :file:`*1*.tex` for results with a **single** algorithm * :file:`*cmp.tex` and :file:`*2*.tex` for showing the comparison of **2** algorithms * :file:`*many.tex` and :file:`*3*.tex` for showing the comparison of **more than 2** algorithms. The templates with `noisy` mentioned in the filename have to be used for the noisy testbed, the others for the noise-less one. These latex templates need to be copied in the current working directory and possibly edited so that the LaTeX commands ``\bbobdatapath`` and ``\algfolder`` point to the correct output folders of the post-processing. Compiling the template file with LaTeX should then produce a document. Keyword arguments: *argv* -- list of strings containing options and arguments. If not provided, sys.argv is accessed. *argv* must list folders containing COCO data files. Each of these folders should correspond to the data of ONE algorithm. Furthermore, argv can begin with facultative option flags. -h, --help displays this message. -v, --verbose verbose mode, prints out operations. -o, --output-dir=OUTPUTDIR changes the default output directory (:file:`ppdata`) to :file:`OUTPUTDIR`. --include-single calls the postprocessing and in particular :py:func:`cocopp.rungeneric1.main` on each of the single input arguments separately. --no-rld-single-fcts do not generate runlength distribution figures for each single function. --input-path=INPUTPATH all folder/file arguments are prepended with the given value which must be a valid path. --in-a-hurry takes values between 0 (default) and 1000, fast processing that does not write eps files and uses a small number of bootstrap samples --no-svg do not generate the svg figures which are used in html files --conv prepares also convergence plots with median function values over time --include-fonts generated pdfs will have the fonts included (important for ACM style LaTeX submissions) Exceptions raised: *Usage* -- Gives back a usage message. Examples: Printing out this help message:: $ python -m cocopp.rungeneric -h Post-processing two algorithms in verbose mode:: $ python -m cocopp -v AMALGAM BIPOP-CMA-ES From the python interpreter:: >> import cocopp >> cocopp.main('-o outputfolder folder1 folder2') This will execute the post-processing on the data found in :file:`folder1` and :file:`folder2` and return the respective `DataSetList`. The ``-o`` option changes the output folder from the default :file:`ppdata` to :file:`outputfolder`. The arguments can also be presented as a list of strings.

<D>
Re-display Sector
This will re-display
the information about the sector where you are currently located.
Information includes sector number and nebulae name, marker beacons, port
name and class, mines, fighters, planets and any other ships. Next
to the class you will see three letters signifying how the port trades
in the commodities. For example a SSB would indicate that the port
sells Fuel Ore, sells Organics and buys Equipment. The adjacent sectors
will also be shown. With a color display, the sectors you have not
yet visited will show up in red.
<P>
Port and Trade
This will allow you
to dock at the port in your current sector. This is the only way
to trade your commodities. You will have some choices for what action
you would like to take at the port. Most of the choices are self-explanatory.
If you are playing the game as an evil trader, the choices you see will
be different than they would be if you were playing the game as a lawful
Player. When you dock at the port, you will be able to see the docking
log. This will show you the name of the last ship to do business
there. If there is a planet in the sector with this port, you will
be able to negotiate a Planetary Trade Agreement. This is a trade
contract that will allow you to trade off all your excess commodities to
the port without wasting your turns hauling one shipload at a time.
 This is never an easy task. The starports are very
heavily armed and will retaliate, so you will need to have plenty of military
forces with you if you decide to proceed with this selection.
<M>
Move to a Sector
The sectors adjacent
to your current location will be listed as warp lanes in the sector
display. You can move to one of them, or you can choose any other
sector in the universe. If you designate a sector that doesn't have
a direct warp lane, your ship's computer will plot your course, show the
path and the number of hops (and turns) the trip will use, and ask you
if you want to engage your AutoPilot. You will be able to use the
Autopilot in three different modes. The default is Alert mode.
This will suspend your travel in any sector where there is a planet, port,
navigational hazard or other trader. Once alerted to one of these
items, you will be given several options. It is up to you to make
the decision that will best serve you or your corporation. The second
mode is Express. This speeds you to your destination provided there
are no enemy forces in your path. The third mode is Single Step.
This was developed by an enterprising group of pioneers. Their group
was getting smaller due to bold exploration of sectors filled with mines,
so the survivors manufactured an Autopilot that would stop in each sector.
This allowed them to scan the next sector for hazards before proceeding
into it. Select this option if you feel the need for caution.
<L>
Land on a Planet
This option will enable
you to colonize your planets, build a Citadel and do business there, pick
up the fighters built by your colonists or pick up the production of Fuel
Ore, Organics and/or Equipment. You will see a list of all the planets.
Simply enter the number for the one you want to visit. If you have
purchased a Planet Scanner at the Hardware Emporium, it will automatically
provide you with additional information about the planet. The Planet
Scanner will also allow you to abort the landing procedure if, after looking
at the defenses, you feel you may not be able to land successfully.
The display, once you have landed, shows the planet number, location, name,
class and a chart detailing the commodities, production requirements and
current inventories. You will also see the citadel information and
any planetary defenses.
<S>
Long Range Scan
If you have purchased
a scanner from the Hardware Emporium, you can use it to view adjacent sectors.
All things in the Trade Wars universe have a density value and you can
use your Density Scanner to display the relative density of the neighboring
sectors and determine if there are any Navagational Hazards. You
will also be warned of any non-standard, undefinable mass. You can
then use that information to determine what's next door. If you have
a Holographic Scanner, you will be able to see ports, planets, hazards
and other players all for just the cost of one turn.
<R>
Release Beacon
Choose this when you
want to launch one of the Marker Beacons you purchased at the Hardware
Emporium. You will need to decide what message your beacon will send
when you launch it.  The computer will ask you which
trader in your current sector you wish to tow. You can tow an unmanned
ship only if you own the ship and know the ship's password. The computer
will then calculate (using the size difference between the two ships) the
number of turns you will use for each sector you tow this trader and his/her
ship. You can then use the Move option to go to an adjacent sector
or you can engage your AutoPilot to move you and your "passenger".
Type 1 TransWarp drives were not made to be used in conjunction with tractor
beams, so if you use your Type 1 TransWarp, the tractor beam will automatically
shut down. Type 2 TransWarp drives can be used with a ship in tow.
The person you are towing will not enter a sector until you have safely
entered. The tractor beam will act as a protective shield and will
safeguard the towee from any damage from mines, offensive fighters or Quasar
cannons. If your ship is destroyed, the tractor beam will also be
destroyed and the person you are towing will be left stranded. To
disengage the beam at any point, use this option again.
<N>
Move to NavPoint
Navigation Points
are sectors of particular relevance to you or your corporation. They
are assigned from the main menu with the "<Y>
Set NavPoints" option. All Nav units are pre-programmed with
info on Sector 1 (Terra), and (if the sysop wishes) StarDock Sector, and
there are four other definable points. Navigation info is available
on any sector in FedSpace, or any sector containing one or more of your
fighters. This info includes any planet or port details for that
sector.

CrankyCritic® movie reviews: Pokémon: The First Movie English Screenplay by Norman J. Grossfeld, Michael Haigney and John Touhey with voice direction by Michael Haigney Original screenplay by Takeshi Shudo Based on characters created by Satoshi Tajiri Directed by Kunihiko Yuyama website: http://www.pokemonthemovie.com
IN SHORT: Huh?
The phenomenon that is Pokémon so outstrips early kidlet addictions such as Power Rangers or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that you should be glad that the American movie has been totally reedited and aimed at the insistent low digit kidlet demographic target. Pokémon: The First Movie is the final result of editing three Japanese vids into a single, English dubbed movie. What was removed was described to me as a slaughter sequence in which the Pocket Monster called Mewtwo, scientifically cloned from the remnants of a long lost Pokémon, Mew, goes on a bloody killing rampage that would make Kurosawa turn his eyes away from the screen. Having problems with the concept that Pokémon are subservient to their human masters puts this monster in such a funk that, in the original film, it goes on a killing rampage that lasts close to eight minutes. That's more reference to the Source Material than I'm supposed to give you but, on the off chance that you come across any of the bootlegged, subtitled versions of the original Japanese versions, be very warned that the violence level in the non-American released is far beyond what any adult would consider acceptable for single digit kidlets.
That being said, in the American version, Mewtwo still questions his Reason for Being, but only blows everybody up. No blood or anything that would warp sensitive young minds. Just a Big Bang, unleashing upon the Universe something that makes sense only to the properly initiated. There's no explanation of what Pokémon are, why they are or where they come from. Nothing about humans training them for battle or the unique relationship between Ash Ketchum and his `friend' Pikachu. Either you know what it is, or you sit with only the vaguest comprehension of what is playing out on screen
Mewtwo's plan is to clone the existing Pokémon into super warriors who have no inclination to be subservient to the Humans. Afterwards the new Pokémon will destroy the old and Mewtwo will do his part by wiping out humankind. The only thing in his way is the original, the very bestest and mostest powerfulest Mew and a Pokémon battle unlike anything seen before. The net result is that Mewtwo realizes that fighting is wrong. He and the rest of the SuperPokémon fly off into the sky, but not before wiping the memory of their existence out of the minds of the Pokémon and trainers that witnessed the battle. Net result? The trainers and Pokémon don't get to keep the knowledge that fighting is bad, and thus can go off and have more Pokémon battles. Just as they did at the beginning of the movie. Just as they''ve always done.

The kidlets in the audience, especially the six year old sitting in his uncle's lap, were happy as clams. They cheered and applauded and, for the life of me, I can't tell you why. If you've had no exposure to Pokémon, there's nothing here to widen your horizons. Two years from now, there'll be something else to hold the next generation of kidlets in its sway.
Preceding The First Movie is a short called Pikachu's Vacation. This has something to do with how Pokémon behave when they're free of their human masters. Beyond that, I was totally lost.

is represented by an integer value, inside a pair of one - or more square brackets, that follow the name of the array
The println statement argument at line 8, for example, represents the
index location of an array element in multiarray.
To point to the location of an element in a one-dimensional array,
a single pair of brackets that contain an integer value, would be used (e.g. myarray [4] ).
Similarly, to point to the location of an element in a two-dimensional array, two pair of brackets - each
containing an integer value, is used (e.g. myarray [4][1] ).
Accordingly, specifying the location of an element, of a three-dimensional array, requires that
three pair of brackets (each containing an integer value) be used.
Thus, the println statement argument at line 8, can be interpreted as
"... output
the array element
located at index position [1][2][0], of the three-dimensional array, name multiarray".
The value of the array element located at that index position, of
the three-dimensional array, is 1.
Note that, the value of the integer inside of the pair of brackets (that represent an array element's index location)
could be represented as the output of an expression - that calculates a
value (e.g. myarray [4 % 4] ).

The real time bus tracker is a tracker that utilises an api provided by the city of Boston and google maps provided by Google. What the tracker does is track every public bus in downtown Boston. The buses change to either red or blue depending on what direction they are going. All this information is provided using an API provided by the city of Boston. If you want to check out the code, here is a link to my repository
The Eye Movement exercise was a task given during my course, the objective was to create two eyes using HTML and what these eyes do is follow your cursor around the screen when you move your mouse around. To view my code for this exercise and you have a look at my repository on my github
What the pacman exercise is, is a lot of pacmen that bounce around the screen. On the screen there are two buttons, add pacman and start game. The "add pacman' button, spawns more pacmen and you can spawn as many as you want. The start button makes the pacmen move and also increases their speed. I was not able to display the pacman exercise like the real time bus tracker and the eye movement exercise, as I ran into unknown issues and could not solve it. Here is a link to my github repository to view the code and try it yourself


Wildfires in California have been getting progressively worse every year. In 2018, we had 8,527 wild fires in the past year! 1,893,913 acres were burned: forests, homes, buildings, and many lives lost. This past year more there was more than $3.5 billion lost in damages. These fires caused thousands of tons of Carbon Dioxide to pollute our California air. All these fires were caused by human actions: explosions, burning cigarettes, and extreme heat which is caused by Green House Gas emissions.

Pipe bursts at apartment complex near uptown, impacting residents
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - A pipe burst at a newer apartment complex near uptown Charlotte Sunday evening, possibly leaving some residents without water.
The incident happened around 5:15 p.m. at the Arlo Apartments off S Summit Ave near W Morehead Street.
Most people should still have power, officials say.
We’re working to learn how many residents may be displaced and when the situation is expected to be fixed.
Check back for updates on this story.

FILM TITLE: BANDIT QUEEN DIRECTOR: SHEKHAR KAPUR COUNTRY: INDIA 1995 CINEMATOGRAPHY: ASHOK METHA MUSIC: NUSKAT FATEH ALI KHAN CAST: Scema Biswas, Nirmal Panday, Manoj Bajpai, Rajesh Nandeo, Sauradh Shukla, Rachuvir Yadav SUPER FEATURES: Wow.... but not for everyone!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Few films will ever punch you as hard as this film does. Perhaps it is not the film itself that matters but its story and subject matter.
This is an extremely brutal film, one that speaks for many women, although how it does so, is not something that many people in a western society is willing to go through, even in a movie.
Phoolan Devi, is married off at age 13 to support her parents. The man who buys her, is more interested in satisfying his own social status than he is interested in a woman, or marriage. But he succumbs to the tradition, and he takes up his wife, even when people make fun of him for not finding anyone but a child.
Phoolan is raped. And she runs away. In the running away, she manages to find some work, but ends up in a place where a few young boys are expecting to get their satisfaction out of her. She has very little taste for men, specially patience, and one of the boys makes a strong pass at her. She fights her way out of it, but ends up in the village court where she is found guilty and jailed. Here her assault continues and she is raped by the guards as "penance" before being allowed to leave. She has to leave town because it is basically run by a family that does not like her caste. They continue the abuse.
By chance, she ends up joining a group of outlaws, whose job seems to be to chase food for their own members at the cost of the authorities. And here she seems to get better known, and respected, and even finds a lover that she can take up with. However, it is not without pain and struggle with herself that she can finally give herself to him and not suffer from her past abuses.
Phoolan eventually becomes a leader in the gang, something that many men do not like at all, but for the most part, they realize that this is an important move as it gets her heard about and famous. She returns one time to the town that abused her seriously, and she gets her revenge in an awful display of carnality, not unlike the abuse that she suffered. She even says so. The Hindu authorities begin going after her, and use the brother of the one man that accused her in the first time. They do not succeed, but by this time the press is all over the situation, and the Hindu leaders, now know that they can not kill her, or risk a serious war, or political upheaval. Although many of the local people do not care for this situation, they give in. She is asked to turn herself in, and to her credit when this happens there are thousands and thousands of people waiting for her, and the news media.
We know that now she will be heard and that her suffering may not exactly be in vain, although most of India is still involved in a caste system that the British fostered as a way to keep many of them under control. And Phoolan Devi's story is heard.
This is the film of a true story. And her story had some very serious consequences in the political life of many people, specially those who were the authorities in the areas she came from. Many are still in prison for it.
 It is indeed sad that for these situations to get an ear, many have to die, and that one has to suffer such a hard punishment, but all we can hope is that their plight is not in vain. In this case it was not, but it is clear that many have failed where Phoolan did not. The fact of the matter may have been that women were/are not respected as women at all, but are meant to be subservient to men in all aspects of life. This is the 20th century, and this is something that is very much alive, the whole world over, and many countries still have this type of insulting and demeaning behavior in their social mores. It is time that we make it clear that this is not needed, and neither is it supported.
 They say that India has power because of its history. In this case its history is also the power that is destroying it in the modern day. Can it be saved and changed.? I think this is the real point of the film.
 Phoolan Devi, I'm sorry that you have suffered so much, but I praise your spirit, and what you have stood for, and we need more of you in this day and age over run in many places by savage men.
