And for number #5 you don't even need to write a function. Why not just use reverse? And notice his indentation and closing of parens is all wrong (i.e. not Lisp style). He's writing Lisp code thinking in a another language[1].

It's still a good exercise to go through them all as a Lisp newb like myself when I'm bored or need a break.

[1] Programming language, not Portuguese. :)




Well using reverse sort of misses the point. You are supposed to implement reverse.


I just find it a bit interesting that you are supposed to implement things that are given. That sort of defeats the purpose of doing one for a specific language.


Ah, well that does make it a bit more interesting. :)
