Chapter 1: Getting Started Notes Either use the machine yeager.cse.buffalo.edu or the machine denali.cse.buffalo.edu for all your work in this course, and do it all in the directory you have created named CSE202 We will be using Allegro Common Lisp (called "ACL") version 5.0.1. Read Chapter 1. Arrange your computer's desktop so that you have the browser open to these notes, and a window open with a shell running in it. Put them side-to-side, or one above the other so that you can read both at the same time. Do this throughout the entire course. Do all the exercises in Chapter 1. The following notes will help: to enter ACL, enter the shell command cl To exit ACL, enter the Lisp command :exit The ACL interrupt key is ^C (or C-c), which is read "control c", and is entered by holding down the Control key and simultaneously typing the C key. To leave the debugger, enter C-d. To pop up a single level in the debugger, enter C-d once. To pop all the way up to the top-level listener from any debugger level, enter the command :res Get out of acl, and back to the shell level. Do the following: Create an empty file named ch1.txt Run acl. Have Lisp evaluate the number 0 Type the interrupt key, going into debugger level 1, and have Lisp evaluate the number 1 here. Continue this down to debugger level 3, at each level, have Lisp evaluate the number of that level (2 on level 2, 3 on level 3). Go up to debugger level 2. Go up to the top-level listener. Exit acl. Paste the preceding interaction (from entering acl to exiting it) into your ch1.txt file. Submit that file by executing the shell command submit_cse202 ch1.txt Go on to Chapter 2. When I have read your submission, assuming you have done it correctly, I will record your progress in the grade sheet. If you have not done it correctly, I will send you email.
