An Introduction to Programming in LISP

by Harald Wertz

Presents a basic, step-by-step introduction to one of the most widely used programming languages. Gradually building programming skills and knowledge, it uses annotated examples to introduce the LISP language, its data structures, control structures, and programming techniques. Each chapter describes new concepts and offers a series of related exercises with solutions provided at the end of the book. Topics covered include atoms and lists, defining functions, common predicates, IF, recursion, numeric programming, P-lists, printing, more on defining functions, EVAL and APPLY, and input/output functions. Also covered are special characters, a small pattern matching function, structure of lists, assignment functions and macro-functions, iterative repetition, a powerful pattern matching function, and more. Contains a listing of standard LISP functions.
