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.
