    LISP

LISP, which stands for LISt Processing, was developed in the late 1950s by John McCarthy as a language for manipulating symbols. This book presents the Common LISP Language, a version of LISP, and details a range of applications for it, including data structures, computer systems, and compiler design.

This book presents a tutorial introduction to Common LISP, coverign lists and trees, recursion, local vs. global reference, characters and strings, streams, LAMDA and LABELS, control, debugging, macros, structures, classes and objects, vectors and arrays, and efficiency and compilation.



The complete, up-to-date guide to Common LISP and its applications.

• Includes extensive LISP program examples in many areas, such as text formatting and spelling correction.

• Introduces generic functions and class inheritance in Common LISP.

• Explains how to get a public domain copy of LISP.
