What does the letter ‘t’ mean in LISP?
ex:
(defun last2 (lst)
(cond ((null lst) nil)
((null (cdr lst)) (car lst))
(t (last2 (cdr lst)))))
My textbook is a coursepack so it doesn’t quite explain all the meanings.
Thanks.
T is the canonical true value in Common Lisp. Here it is being used as an ELSE, ensuring that the last branch of the COND is always true. (Any value other than NIL counts as true as well.)
