Hi Kashyap, > Is LISP indeed List Integer and Symbol Processing? According to a lot of > places on the web it seems to be just List Processing.
Interesting! I never heard that. I always heard it means just "List Processing". Integers are probably not an outstanding feature, every language has it. > What is the history behind the names CAR and CDR? It goes back to the assembly language of some old IBM mainframe, meaning "contents of address register" and "contents of decrement register". ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
