Way to beef up your post count, hopalongcassidy. If you hate Lisp so much, then avoid any thread with "Lisp" or "Scheme" in the title.

Sheesh.

I'm sorry for that lsprog.
I haven't done much...

You're very welcome, dmmckelv. :)

azimuth0: Thanks for the additional info - I've never used READ, and just assumed it returned any expression as a string type, and not the entire line. Bad call...

The rudeness of some people on this forum floors me.

gamingfan1993, here's a rough sketch (in QBASIC):


INPUT "User to look up: ", lookup$

OPEN "data.txt" FOR READ AS #1

lengthoflookup%...

It appears you have a superfluous opening parenthesis just before the FORMAT call:

(defun adder ()
(format t "Enter a number, press return and enter another number")
(setq number-one (read))...

Even though this thread is approximately 10 months old, I'm going to resurrect it anyways.

What is the purpose of this? Normally I wouldn't ask, but what you're asking for here is for a list of...

The logical condition is correct, but watch the syntax: (and (numberp n) (numberp m))

Try this:

(if (numberp m)
(if (numberp n)
(+ m n)
((lambda ()
(format t...

It's logically correct, but watch the spacing:
(and (numberp n) (numberp m))

Try passing the -h switch to QBASIC on the shortcut properties. The -h switch makes the QBAISC window come up in "high resolution", more than likely why you deal with line counts greater than 24 in...

Don't be :cheesy:
Lisp is amazing. I program in it, now, almost exclusively.

Now, here's an example supplying you have a Lisp REPL (interpreter) - like CLISP - installed to /usr/local/bin:
