A Simple Example of a Macro

Suppose we would like to define a Lisp construct to increment a variable value, much like the ++ operator in C. We would like to write (inc x) and have the effect of (setq x (1+ x)). Here’s a macro definition that does the job: 

(defmacro inc (var)
-   (list 'setq var (list '1+ var)))
-
-

When this is called with (inc x), the argument var is the symbol x—not the value of x, as it would be in a function. The body of the macro uses this to construct the expansion, which is (setq x (1+ x)). Once the macro definition returns this expansion, Lisp proceeds to evaluate it, thus incrementing x.

Function: macrop object -

This predicate tests whether its argument is a macro, and returns t if so, nil otherwise.
