Re: Page 3 and 19, value of (+ 3 (* 24))

[Marcus Denison]

Dear Alexander,

(+ 3 (* 2 4)) is evaluated from inside to the outside. So first there
will be 2 * 4, which is 8 and then 3 is added.

Maybe you have a typo? (+ 3 (* 24)) <- There is a whitespace missing.

I haven't done some LISP in a very long time, but that should be the
trick. Hopefully I was helpful.

Greetings
