Yes, the book has both implementations of the required functions (for all the complicated ones you need) and tests all written in pseudocode.
The book is really good. I have a half-finished implementation in F#, and what I find striking is just how close the F# code is to the pseudocode. I have also started an idiomatic port to Racket but have only done the tuples, vector, and point implementations so far. I need to pick these up again.

I have also worked through pieces of Ray Tracing in One Weekend (what was referenced in this post). They get you going much faster, but the code is written in C++. I found the translation to a functional style was harder (was just using Racket and F#'s mutability features), whereas the way The Ray Tracer Challenge is laid out and specified, I found it much easier to translate to an idiomatic functional style.
