"ANSI Common Lisp" solutions
Solutions to the end-chapter exercises in Paul Graham's "ANSI Common Lisp".
Warnings and Disclaimers
Since I'm paranoid of being accused of plagiarism, or using execerpts of someone else's copyrighted work without permission, in any case where I've reproduced code from the text, I've done my best to "make it my own". So I've adapted it to my own style and sensibility, which others may find offensive or hard to follow (though I hope not).
One thing that I do know seasoned Lisp programmers will find distasteful about my style is that, coming largely from a C and Perl background, I've carried over their de-facto conventions for curly-braces, and applied it to the way I use parentheses in Lisp. I know, you're supposed to put all trailing parens on the same line whenever possible, but I just haven't been able to retrain myself to do that just get.
ToDo
I've completed the exercises for the first seven chapters, but have yet to add anything past Chapter 6 to this repository. I'm going through them one-by-one to sanitize them, and make sure I'm not ripping-off Paul Graham's code verbatim. There were no exercises for Chapter 1, so naturally I've included no solutions for it. And for Chapter 2, I only have the solutions for one exercise so far, because the rest didn't entail writing code; but I may go back and include the answers to the rest anyway, for completeness' sake.
As part of the cleanup, I'm adding code to make the presentation a little neater, so that someone who runs the example files doesn't get a mess of output with no context whatsoever. It may evolve into a unit testing framework down the road a bit. We'll see.
