How do I know where error is occured?

Error messages don't always list the function where an error occured. How do I find this information?

Re: struct can't be accessed inside loop?

You're right, and I'm in the wrong section(lisp). Mods, feel free to move or delete.

struct can't be accessed inside loop?

Why am I getting this error from running "contains": "EVAL: undefined function MOVE-X"? (defstruct move state previous f g h) (defun contains (list x) (let ((found nil)) (loop for y in list when (equal (move-x state) (move-y state)) return y))) TEST CODE (setf x (make-move :state...

Re: " should be a lambda expression" error?

I found it. I have one too many parenthesis after do.

The thing is, shouldn't I put the sequence of functions into one s-expression block like let does?

Re: How do I return a list without performing a function on it?

How do I return a list without performing a function on it?

If I want to return a list or nil how do I do that? If I just try to put the name of the list or nil on the last line, lisp tells me it's not a function. I've been using the print function but that isn't going to cut it anymore. For example (defun goalp (state) (let ((x state)) (loop for i from 0 to...

Re: Are ALL S-Expressions really ordered pairs?

Are functions also considered objects?

Am I to think of these objects as instances of the syntax tree? I'm not sure how this part of the construct works.
