- <h3 class="section">Modifying Existing List Structure</h3> <p>You can modify the <small>CAR</small> and <small>CDR</small> contents of a cons cell with the primitives <code>setcar</code> and <code>setcdr</code>. These are destructive operations because they change existing list structure. Destructive operations should be applied only to mutable lists, that is, lists constructed via <code>cons</code>, <code>list</code> or similar operations. Lists created by quoting are part of the program and should not be changed by destructive operations. See <a href="mutability">Mutability</a>. </p> <blockquote> <p><b>Common Lisp note:</b> Common Lisp uses functions <code>rplaca</code> and <code>rplacd</code> to alter list structure; they change structure the same way as <code>setcar</code> and <code>setcdr</code>, but the Common Lisp functions return the cons cell while <code>setcar</code> and <code>setcdr</code> return the new <small>CAR</small> or <small>CDR</small>. </p>
