meaning of call with current continuation

1. call-with-current-continuation programming> call/cc A Lisp control function that takes a function f as its argument and calls f, passing it the current continuation, which is itself a function, k. k, which represents the context of the call to call/cc, takes the result of call/cc which is the result of f and returns the final result of the whole program. Thus if, for example, the final result is to print the value returned by call/cc then anything passed to k will also be printed. E. g, in Scheme: define f k k 1 k 2 3 display call-with-current-continuation f Will display 1.
