An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp – Solutions

`An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp’ (elisp intro) is a manual that comes with Emacs for programming beginners. This is my review of Elisp Intro: http://wenshanren.org/?p=217

In Emacs, press M-x info, then search for “Emacs Lisp Intro”, now you should be able to read it by simply clicking the result that is found by Emacs. The benefits of reading this manual in Emacs are:

• Operations such navigation, searching, adding bookmarks and so on are very convenient.
• You can run the examples in the book when you read it, which is super handy.

This repository is a collection of my solutions to the exercises in the `elisp intro’, including:

Chapter	Chapter Title	Corresponding File
1	List Processing	ch01.el
2	Practicing Evaluation	ch02.el
3	How To Write Function Definitions	ch03.el
4	A Few Buffer-Related Functions	ch04.el
5	A Few More Complex Functions	ch05.el
6	Narrowing and Widening	ch06.el
7	`car’, `cdr’, `cons’: Fundamental Functions	ch07.el
8	Cutting and Storing Text	ch08.el
9	How List are Implemented	ch09.el
10	Yanking Text Back	ch10.el
11	Looping	ch11.el
12	Regular Expression Searches	ch12.el
13	Counting: Repetition and Regexps	ch13.el
15	Readying a Graph	ch15.el

Note:

• Chapter 14 and chapter 16 do not have exercises.
• The exercises in chapter 17 are not programming tasks, you can finish them by following the questions.

I am just a beginner of elisp, and my poor English skills might caused some misunderstanding of the exercises. Please feel free to point out any mistakes you might find.

Happy Hacking!
