Lisp programming question help!?

• hey please help me on this question!! it's in japanese.. create a list with elements including name, age, place. then make a function called "quick-sort-plist" which quicksorts the list according to age. i'm dumbfounded by this. help me please!!

• Answer:

  It's been so long since I did LISP that all I can do is tell you about quicksort (which is not the most efficient algo for sorting) you are making a list the list has elements the elements have fields name, age, place it requires two loops, or recursion for each element in list less one of the total if ( element.age > element.next.age ) temp = element element = element.next element.next = temp the outer loop to the above repeats list elements qty-1 Hope that kiind of helps. I started to go find my old LISP books, then I forgot why.
