LISP : Practice Questions and Answers

Editors have their own convention for doing basic maneuvers.

Files are specified as strings, which is one lisp's data type.

To create or modify a file, we can use ED primitive.

Compile-file is mainly used to translate the procedures into equivalent computer instructions.

The access procedures available in lisp are constructors, readers and writers.

Filtering makes it easy to identify the first entry encountered that satisfies a given predicate.

There are five items in mapping primitives. They are mapcar, remove-if, remove-if-not, count-if and find-if.

The knowledge of programming is embedded partly in applicable templates called programming cliches.

Data abstraction process helps to build a large and complicated programs.

None.

Generic functions are used to enforce constraints.

Constraints propagate probability bounds through logic boxes.

When a group of assertions and logical constraints are combined, they form inference net.

Classes represent assertions and logical constraints.

Constraint propagate numbers through arithmetic boxes.

CASE checks the evaluated key form against the unevaluated keys using EQL and if the key is found, the corresponding clause is triggered.

COND is more versatile conditional and it has a template that calls for particularly peculiar argument evaluation.

If all the test forms are NIL then conditional will also return NIL.

The value of the entire COND form is the value of the last consequent form in the triggered clause.

It is used to move through the clauses and evaluating only the test form.
