(define id expr) Syntax
Set id to the result of expr.
(set! id expr) Syntax
Set id to the result of expr if id is already defined. If id is not defined, raise an error.

Clone of lambda.
(define/c (proc-bind [id-binding contract]... )) Syntax
Define a procedure with contracts.
(if test-expr then-expr else-expr) Syntax
Evaluates test-expr. If #t then evaluate then-expr else evaluate else-expr. An error will be raised if evaluated test-expr is not a bool?.
