Thanks a lot to all,

This mail-chain has produced at least three ways of doing the same thing and all of them are different and elegant.

Great going guys... let us start some thing interesting like a project developed by us. I really like to join some project which has GPL but would like to that with in our group. What do you suggest?

A fair warning from my side that I am a new lisper so learning a lot from you all.

Thanks to all again,

Samik

P.S. If any one of you have some time for my blog please visit it and post your suggestion there:

Thanks samik,

i m able to do the reverse function:

Hi Pramod,

Sorry to spell your name incorrect last time. The following code uses a recursive call to do a reverse of a list only problem is the tr variable it needs to be set to �() each time after a call to this reverse function. I must be missing something stupid here if you can rectify it, will be great.

CL-USER> (setf tr '())

CL-USER> (defun rev(lst)

(setf tr (list* (car lst) tr))

(if (not (eq (cdr lst) nil))

(rev (cdr lst))

(return-from rev tr)))

CL-USER> (rev (list 1 2 3 4 5))

(5 4 3 2 1)

As always, very best

Hi all ,
Can anybody write the recursive function LISP function that will reverse elements of the list(please don't use built-in reverse function).?
I have tried the answer with car,cdar,last, lastbut .But I am not able to come at exact answer.

Thanks for your any suggestion.

See what happens when I try to compile your MY-REVERSE -

; While compiling MY-REVERSE:
Warning: Free reference to undeclared variable TEMP-RET assumed special.

i.e. bind TEMP-RET inside a LET - don't just assign it straghtaway.
Also, RETURN-FROM is unnecessary here - the DOLIST form in that code
already returns TEMP-RET -

(defun my-reverse (list)
   (let ((temp nil))
     (dolist (el list temp)
       (push el temp))))

Hi Promode,

This is an easy way of doing a reverse without using car, cdr or ca*d*r family how ever it does not use any recursion. You can think about it. But in my opinion a program should be readable to human being first rather than computers. But it will be a good exercise for recursion. Try using ca*d*r family and last in your recursive function and if you succeed let us know.

Here is my code:

(defun my-reverse(inlst)

(setq temp-ret '())

(setq temp-ret (dolist (temp inlst temp-ret) (push temp temp-ret)))

(return-from my-reverse temp-ret))

And a sample output:

CL-USER> (my-reverse (list 1 2 3 4))

(4 3 2 1)

Very best

Hi Promod,

Here are the answers to the best of my knowledge:

Q1. Yes you can call a function from any REPL without any problem.

I use SBCL+XEmacs in windows platform with SLIME and it works as it should be.

I have a different version for my-append from yours which use do list

however when I want to call any function its as simple as :

>(foo 1 2 3)

(1 2 3)

or as in your case:

>(my-appened '(1 2) '(3 4))

(1 2 3 4)

Q2) About the error you need to check your code.

Regarding " how the interpreter knows".... Lisp maintains 2 name spaces and when you define a function it adds the function name to a name space and when you call a function it finds the function from the name space.

Q3) Unfortunately Lisp is not bound to any main function. It's free from such non-sa!@!@#. ...

Did you evaluate that function definition?  Maybe you can try typing
the function definition in at the prompt and then calling it.  If that
works, then it means you haven't evaluated the function in the editor
window.  I don't know the LW keybindings, but it should have that
option if you right-click on the editor pane.

This can be done by the following macro:

And Lisp will still be around 100 years from now because its
7 magic axioms are like a law of nature. Java won't be around
100 years from now, if the past 50 years of computer
programming (with dozens of languages dying out) is anything
to learn from.

True. But again, lispers have their own level of
thought processes that go compared to a java guy. True
java is sellable now, where as lisp sort of is a
specialized one. But in its own way, its a great thing
to know and work with.

True. But again, lispers have their own level of
thought processes that go compared to a java guy. True
java is sellable now, where as lisp sort of is a
specialized one. But in its own way, its a great thing
to know and work with.

Whatever little sound that comes out of the lispers gets lost in the
noise that the J2EE crowd makes :) Also I guess it is the secret sauce
which nobody wants to disclose. However I've seen a few ads pop up in
planet lisp by Teleonto technologies, Hyd.

btw, was Rainer Joswig's talk in B'lore last year recorded? If so does
anybody have a copy?

Tom,

    Thats true. Maybe pple are not much used to more
declarative languages. Project managers are used to c,
java or sorts and thats what wins the race. But I see
internationally some incredible products in lisp and
prolog. I think we should keep at it and make the
language successful within an industry. Think there is
a good market to lisp/prolog professionals as well
with a limited number of openings. But still there is
the acedemic hang on lisp/prolog like langauges in the
R & D dept in institutions.

Thanks,

Vijay,

I was doing a few projects in Common Lisp, but it hardly seemed the company could digest them. The projects were a success in my eyes, but I don't think anyone took the time to investigate. Maybe they expected something different from what I delivered.

Tom
