Lisp notes

Lisp is the greatest single programming language ever designed - Alan Kay

You can try out clojure at tryclojure.

Lisp stands for LISt Processing, and code is written in lists.

The first argument of a list needs to be a function. The rest, are the arguments to that function.

Lists are enclosed in parentheses and separated by spaces. (1 2 3) is a list.

(not true) // not is the negation function and true is the argument
// prints false

Mathematical operators are like normal functions. So instead of 4 + 2, you will do

(+ 4 2)

Clojure syntax

(+ 1 2) // this prints 3

"hello world" // strings are enclosed in ""

A list is a collection of items like so: (1 2 3)

(list 1 2 3) // Create list using the list function
'(1 2 3) // Or by prepending ' operator

The reverse function reverses a collection. So if you pass a string, it will use it as a collection of characters. ```lisp (reverse “hello”) // (“h” “e” “l” “l” “o”)
