My sincerest apologies if the Moderators deem this to be posted in the wrong place or not suitable for this forum, feel free to move/remove.
I have attempted to provide an introductory explanation of the mapcar & lambda functions, and thought I'd share it here, since it seems to be an area that many beginners find difficult to understand.
Mapcar & Lambda (http://lee-mac.com/mapcarlambda.html)
I hope it is comprehensible and welcome any questions about the content, suggestions for improvement, or indeed notification of any mistakes found.

Nice Lee. Thanks.
I got my original tutorial on this back in the day from a newsgroup post, not unlike this one (http://autocad.xarch.at/lisp/transpose.001.html).

couple of more good posts on mapcar/lambda.

Thanks rkmcswain - that post is also a great learning resource as it covers some aspects in a little more depth :-)

Thanks Mark! I thought I'd seen the example of capitalising names somewhere before - no wonder it stuck in my mind 8-)

Excellent Tutorial. Thanks.
To Mark and Mods; should there be a child board under AutoLISP section for LISP tutorials. There seems to me a lot of them and putting them into section would be easier to find.
Just my 1/2 cent opinion.

Ohh I should say I will help out by digging thru muck to find past tutorial threads and I will put a list of links together for threads to move to the new section or at the very least point a link to their current position.

There is already of course the 'Teach Me' forum:
http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?board=4.0 (http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?board=4.0)
But a forum dedicate to LISP tutorials would be cool - perhaps the theads in the 'Problems & Solutions' thread could also be sorted and grouped in such a forum. Sounds like a lot of work though...

The reason I created the 'Problems & Solutions Links' thread was so that people could post a link and comments on routines/threads that they find particularly helpfull.
Sorting and grouping it WOULD be difficult and time consuming, and would require on-going maintenance if any semblance of it's current intent is to be retained.
Perhaps the next generation of members will start adding to it for the benefit of all, instead of collating and manufacturing 'out of context' smut.

I offered anyway. :| :|

This may be a good place to add links to tutorials
