This document discusses the Lisp programming language. It provides an introduction to Lisp, describes some of its key features like rich arithmetic, generic functions, and macros. It explains that Lisp is well-suited for artificial intelligence programs. The document also gives some examples of Lisp code and applications that use Lisp like Yahoo Store, AutoCAD, and Emacs.

2.  Introduction.
 Features of Common LISP.
 Applications on LISP.
 How to Use CLISP.
 Prefix Notation.
 Basic programs.
 Lisp summary.

3. Lisp is often promoted as a language preferable
over others because it has certain features that are
unique.
 Rich, exact arithmetic.
 Generalized references.
 Multiple values.
 Functional functions.
 Generic Functions.
 Dynamic redefinitions
 Lambda lists
 Method combination.
 Macros.

4.  LISP stands for LISt Programming.
 John McCarthy invented LISP in 1958.
 It is particularly suitable for Artificial Intelligence
programs, as it processes symbolic information
efficiently.
 It serves as a common language, which can be
easily extended for specific implementation.
 Programs written in Common LISP do not
depend on machine specific characteristics, such
as word length.

5.  Machine independent.
 Uses iterative design methodology.
 Easy extensibility.
 Allows to update the programs dynamically.
 Provides high level debugging.
 Provides advanced object oriented
programming.

6.  Provides convenient macro system.
 Provides wide ranging data types like,
objects, structures, lists, vectors, adjustable
arrays, hash tables, and symbols.
 Expression based.
 Provides an Object Oriented Condition
system.
 Provides complete I/O library.
 Provides extensive control structures.

7. Develop research Applications(AI).
 Yahoo Store.
 Auto Cad.
 Emacs.
 G2.
 And many other commercial applications.

8.  To run a .lisp or .lsp file, simply use:
clisp hello.lisp

9.  Example:-
the following expression:
a * ( b + c ) / d
is written in LISP as:
(/ (* a (+ b c) ) d)

10. (write-line "Hello World")
(write-line “Arvind sahu")

11.  Simple syntax.
 Programming in LISP is totally different
from other Programming languages due
to its unique syntax and development
mode.
 All LISP program code is written as
s-expression or parenthesized lists.
