Gotcha: Effects and chunking

The time has come to talk about chunking. And about effects! These are two gotchas in the lazy sequence world that you should know up front, before it’s too late!

Exercise

What happens if the chunk size is 1? What happens if the chunk size is infinity?

Exercise

Devise experiments to determine the chunk size of the following data structures:

• vector
• numeric range (using range function)
• iteration (using iterate function)
• repetition (using repeat function)
• list (using list function)
