Reference: Important List Operations

The Basics

Believe it or not, but every list operation (more or less) can be defined in terms of these five basic operations.

null: Standard list constant. The empty list.
(cons value lst): Standard list procedure. Create a new list by prepending value to the front of lst.
(cdr lst): Standard list procedure. Get a list the same as lst but without the first element.
(car lst): Standard list procedure. Get the first element of lst.
(null? lst): Standard list predicate. Checks if lst is the empty list.

Additional List Procedures

Most of these are forthcoming.

(list val_0 val_1 ... val_n): Standard List Procedure. Create a new list of size n+1 of the form (val_0 val_1 ... val_n).
(list-ref lst n): Standard List Procedure. Get the nth element of lst. Note that elements are numbered starting at 0.
(reverse lst): Standard list procedure. Build a new list whose elements are the same as those of lst, but in the opposite order.
