Hi,
The sort is destructive of the input.
https://software-lab.de/doc/refS.html#sort
There are other functions that behave like this that you need to be aware
of when writing code.
You have to assign the result of the sort to another variable. Back to
itself is fine.
: (setq L '((3) (2) (1)))

in-place. Thus you must use the return value of 'sort', it may return another
cell than was passed to it.

Hi all,
I noticed an odd behavior of sort -
(setq L '((2) (1) ))
(println (length L)) # 2 as expected
(sort L)
(println (length L)) # why 1?
(println L) # ((2))
(bye)
I would expect sort not to change the length. Am I missing something here
or is sort broken?

For us, Lisp is just a way of dealing data in a different way (syntax)
(with kids).
We'll also be holding lectures in tribal schools, it's going to a fun
activity for sure.
Also the kids are experiencing a different life, things in an
