5 Lists

A list represents a sequence of zero or more elements (which may be any Lisp objects). The important difference between lists and vectors is that two or more lists can share part of their structure; in addition, you can insert or delete elements in a list without copying the whole list.

• Cons Cells		How lists are made out of cons cells.
• List-related Predicates		Is this object a list? Comparing two lists.
• List Elements		Extracting the pieces of a list.
• Building Lists		Creating list structure.
• List Variables		Modifying lists stored in variables.
• Modifying Lists		Storing new pieces into an existing list.
• Sets And Lists		A list can represent a finite mathematical set.
• Association Lists		A list can represent a finite relation or mapping.
• Property Lists		A list of paired elements.
