Great - thanks Lutz!

I just wanted to say thank you! I am glad that I can use the newLISP! The more I use it, the more I like it!



Now I run it on Windows and 64 bit Linux :-)

I just wanted to add to this and say thank you.  newLISP gives me a real alternative from having to use other languages that mostly rub me the wrong way.  newLISP makes me happy.

I almost feel guilty making another suggestion right after the new toy has been released but here goes.



I wanted to suggest that the DET function be able to take multiple arguments and assume that the inputs are going to a square matrix i.e.



(det a b c d e f g h i)



would be interpreted as



(det (list '(a b c) '(d e f) '(g h i)))



The number of arguments would have to be a square of course. Other than that, hurrah 9.0!

[Fanda]

What about using a grouping function instead?



(det (group (list a b c d e f g h i) 3))



Maybe, we could add a grouping function:



(group lst [n] [keep-tail])

n - default is 2

keep-tail - default is nil (or maybe true?)



(group '(1 2 3 4 5 6)) => ((1 2) (3 4) (5 6))

(group '(1 2 3 4 5 6) 3) => ((1 2 3) (4 5 6))



(group '(1 2 3)) => ((1 2))

(group '(1 2 3) 2 true) => ((1 2) (3))



List functions which I collected can be found here::

Dmi also has a nice collection here:

see reference:

(Another interesting function is 'combine' (my name) or 'compose' (name by Dmi - maybe better name for this function)).

Ignore that - This is what you get paid the big bucks for!
