Hi Henrik, > I was under the impression that (;) is a shortcut for (get), however
That's right. > when I try (; Lst Nth) I get NIL but not with (get Lst Nth). The difference between 'get' and ';' is that the former evaluates all its arguments, while the latter evaluates only the first one. So (get Lst Nth) evaluates 'Lst', and then tries to assoc 'Nth' with the result. The following works : (; '((a . 1) (Nth . 2) (c . 3)) Nth) -> 2 which is equivalent to : (get '((a . 1) (Nth . 2) (c . 3)) 'Nth) -> 2 Also : (; '(a b c) 2) -> b works, but not : (let Nth 2 (; '(a b c) Nth)) -> NIL instead of : (let Nth 2 (get '(a b c) Nth)) -> b Cheers, - Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
