Hi all..

I would like to know if there is any reference list about the LISP function name.

ex:
SSGET = Suggested Selection GET ?

MP · « **Reply #1 on:** April 02, 2009, 03:12:35 PM »

selection set get

but other than the lisp reference no (most can be deducted me thinks)

JohnK · « **Reply #2 on:** April 02, 2009, 03:40:56 PM »

Cornbread found this link that explains at least two function names that i guess wouldn't be deduced...at least I wouldnt have gotten it without reading up on it.

I liked it too.
I thought it was really cool when "Steve Russell" joined the discussion.

It made me realize just how far back this coding language really goes. Vaccuum Tubes?! Holy carp!

MP · « **Reply #7 on:** April 03, 2009, 11:20:03 AM »

I always thought it fun lisp was born the same year I was (I believe lisp research started in 1955 the language was officially born in 1958).

Crap, we're old.

When i was 5; she hit me over the head with a wooden spoon for making my little brother eat worms.

Maybe his specified age, 38, is in hex, which would make him 56 base 10.

I have you benchmarked at 3:28 for your response time Mike, let's try and tighten that up a bit, nkay?

David Hall · « **Reply #33 on:** April 03, 2009, 02:10:45 PM »

9-10 is correct, 4th grade programming in basic on a Commodore Pet, and yes im 38

JohnK · « **Reply #34 on:** April 03, 2009, 02:15:15 PM »

How old am I? I'm 32.
I touched a computer for the first time at about 23 (not counting the typing class in high school i faked my way through or the papers i wrote in my first couple of years as a psych major) when i started school for this field. ...I created my first menu button in my internship.

JohnK · « **Reply #35 on:** April 03, 2009, 02:19:45 PM »

Man, i wish i would have started at 4th grade; maybe i would understand this stuff better then i do!

It is a very young age, to get and understand programming - and even like it... good for you.

I first knew about programming when I was 17 (and remember that I saw some TurboPascal, working for the project Alfex, a civil application for the production of all the geometry of residential subdivisions), but did not got into it, until I was like 23 or 24 (like 10 years ago.....

)

When we were programming, we were making a text based game similar to Zork. We called it Journey to the Center of the Earth. It was all decision based logic, that followed a pattern, so if you knew the pattern, you could beat the game, otherwise, you traveled through tunnels, going to various places, over waterfalls, battling 50 foot cobra snakes, etc

David Hall · « **Reply #38 on:** April 03, 2009, 02:55:58 PM »

I forget what you called it, when you use acsii characters to make pictures, but thats what we did. There was about 6 of us, and we went to the city finals in the science fair.
