This works: (+ 1 2 3) 6 This doesn’t work: (+ ‘(1 2 3))

  • 0

This works:

(+ 1 2 3) 6 

This doesn’t work:

(+ '(1 2 3)) 

This works if ‘cl-*‘ is loaded:

(reduce '+ '(1 2 3)) 6 

If reduce were always available I could write:

(defun sum (L)   (reduce '+ L))  (sum '(1 2 3)) 6 

What is the best practice for defining functions such as sum?
