Learning Module 10 — Continuations

Why this is important: Continuations allow us to manipulate the flow of a program directly. These are used in languages that lack threading or exceptions to implement them, in compilers as part of an optimization sequence, and in GUI application, where they are called “callbacks”.

Outcomes

• 10.1 – Compare and contrast continuations and tail recursion. (MC) (2 point)
• 10.2 – Convert a given recursive function to continuation passing style using the provided CPS transform. (8 points)
