Did you try 4chan? They might be rude, but less of a hivemind. I am here to break my 4chin addiction.
I see someone disagreed with me. Not sure about what, but just in case I will show how to derive a formula for Fibonacci using the above. You be the judge if it belongs in a LISP programming textbook, even though this…
I think the author is making two points among others: 1. LISP based text/books always present the same two cliche examples 2. They never go beyond (1) given how much they talk about recursion. He mentions sqrt of 5 in…
