(list-ref list k) ------- ( 0-index awkwardness)

[Hen Hanna]

(list-ref list k) ------- ( 0-index awkwardness) , R7RS

(i guess this problem is the same with Common Lisp's Nth and Elt.)

in the following code ,
--- Print the 10th element (in the list),
--- Print the 20th element,
--- Print the 30th element,
--- Print the 40th element,
--- Print the 50th element

came out a bit awkward.... How do ppl usually deal with it ?

(print a) (print (length a))
(print (list-ref a 9))
(print (list-ref a 19))
(print (list-ref a 29))
(print (list-ref a 39))
(print (list-ref a 49))

see Xlispstat list-select and Lisp-Stat select (and iota).

thanks.... i often don't use Iota because it's not in R7RS proper

Lisp-Stat seems to be a library for Common Lisp
