Evaluating a form always produces a result, which is a Lisp object. In the examples in this manual, this is indicated with ‘<samp>⇒</samp>’: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">(car '(1 2)) - ⇒ 1 -</pre> -</div> <p>You can read this as “<code>(car '(1 2))</code> evaluates to 1”. </p> <p>When a form is a macro call, it expands into a new form for Lisp to evaluate. We show the result of the expansion with ‘<samp>→</samp>’. We may or may not show the result of the evaluation of the expanded form. </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">(third '(a b c)) - → (car (cdr (cdr '(a b c)))) - ⇒ c -</pre> -</div> <p>To help describe one form, we sometimes show another form that produces identical results. The exact equivalence of two forms is indicated with ‘<samp>≡</samp>’. </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">(make-sparse-keymap) ≡ (list 'keymap) -</pre> -</div><div class="_attribution"> - <p class="_attribution-p"> - Copyright © 1990-1996, 1998-2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <br>Licensed under the GNU GPL license.<br> - <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Evaluation-Notation.html" class="_attribution-link">https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Evaluation-Notation.html</a> - </p> -</div> |
