Basics in LISP : Practice MCQ Questions & Answers with Explanations

LISP not only facilitates procedure abstraction; but it facilitates data abstraction also.

Common Lisp Object System is included in Common lisp to avail the feature of object oriented programming.

The four types of arguments available are interaction argument, environment argument, evolution argument and uniformity argument.

Uniformity argument is used in lisp, So procedure and lisp data have same form.

Lisp is used to write the applications for all of the given above.

Lisp is an important language even when computer intelligence is not involved.

A symbol manipulation program uses symbolic expressions to work with data and procedures.

Atoms and list collectively are called symbolic expressions or more succinctly expressions.

Atoms are considered to be fundamental units of LISP. From atoms we can form lists, etc.

LISP is a programming language that takes it name from List Processing.

Write-line is also used to print the arguments. Other primitives used to print are print and write.

(print "yes,no") will print yes,no. Write has exclamation mark (!) in its argument so not correct. Multiple prints used will print their arguments in new line. So, the two times and three times used print will not print "yes,no" continuously, hence these options are wrong.

The best-known general-purpose Lisp dialects are Clojure, Common Lisp, and Scheme.

Both atoms and lists can be used to form lists. Lists can be made from atoms. But atoms cannot be made from lists because atoms are the fundamental unit of LISP.

Symbol manipulation in LISP is called as list processing. The full form of LISP is also List Processing.
