CAR and CDR in LISP

Question

Suppose there's a LISP list L described by ((A B) (C))

How to print the result of (CAR L) and (CDR L)?

(in clisp interpreter)

I am able to print these simple statements like (CAR `(A B C)) which gives A. But how do I define the list and CAR it at the same time?

Answer 1

In Common Lisp you can print a value using, well, the print procedure:

(defvar L '((A B) (C)))

(print (car L)) ; same as (print (car '((A B) (C))))
=> '(A B)

(print (cdr L)) ; same as (print (cdr '((A B) (C))))
=> '((C))
