keyword argument are function arguments that are passed by keyword, instead of position.Keyword arguments can be mixed with by-position arguments, and default-value expressions can be supplied for either kind of argument:
(define greet
(lambda (given #:last surname)
(string-append "Hello, " given " " surname)))
> (greet "John" #:last "Smith")
"Hello, John Smith"
> (greet #:last "Doe" "John")
"Hello, John Doe"
In above example last is a keyword argument.

The Common Lisp is a dialect of LISP that was developed as a successor to Maclisp. It is a language specification that is sought to unify and standardize the features of Maclisp dialects. It is a dynamically typed language, general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming language with the file extensions of .lisp, .lsp, .l, .cl, .fasl. It has support for functional, procedural, and object-oriented paradigms. It also includes support for CLOS and Macros.

Macros in LISP are just a function that is used to define the syntax extension to LISP. Macros transform the LISP code. The macro function takes its arguments as s-expression and it returns the LISP form for it. LISP macros are also used to do things like adding syntactic sugar, build pieces of a program during compile time, generate code, etc. You can define your Macro by using the keyword defmacro.
//syntax
(defmacro macro-name (parameter-list))
body-form

The Predicates in LISP are functions that test specific conditions on their parameters. It returns non-nil, if the condition is true, or nil if it is false.
Here are some of the predicates in LISP,
* Atom – It checks the argument and returns t if it is atoms or nil.
* Equal – It checks if two arguments are equal and return t if it is. It returns nil if it is not equal.
* Zerop – it checks if the argument is zero and returns t. It returns nil otherwise.
* Null – it returns t if the argument is nil or it returns nil.

In LISP, the data types are categorized into two types.
Scalar Types – It has normal types such as integers, numbers, characters, symbols, etc.
Data Structures – It has complex types such as linked list & other lists. Vectors, bit-vectors, strings, etc.

The LSIP programming language has a record structure called a con. It is nothing but a single linked list. In this list, the car is a function that is used to access the first value. The car function extracts the pointer of the first value in the linked list.
The expression (car (con x y)) returns the first value x.

The make-sequence function is used to create a sequence of any type.
//syntax for creating sequence
make-sequence sqtype sqsize &key :initial-element
The sqtype is the type and the sqsize is the length of the sequence. You can also specify some optional values using the :initial-element argument. So each of the elements will be initialized to this value.

The setq construct is used to assign a value to the variables. It takes a symbol as a variable and assigns it value. Setq is the simple variable assignment statement in the LISP.
//syntax for setq
(set1 var1 val1 var2 val2 ...)
Here, the var1, var2 are the variables, and val1, val2 is the values assigned to the variables.

In LISP, a symbol represents a data-objects. It consists of component called Property list or plist. LISP enables to assign properties to symbols. A property list is executed as a list within an even numbers of elements.

Vectors are one-dimensional arrays, therefore, a subtype of array. Vectors and lists together are called sequences. LISP has fixed length variable/ simple vectors as well as variable length vectors which are created with the keywords: adjustable and fill-pointer.

The hash table data structure denotes a collection of key and value pairs which are arranged based on the hash code of the key. Each item in the hash table has key/value pair and is used to access the items in the collection. When you want to access elements by using a key a hash table is used.

Variables are used to store a value and it is represented by a symbol in LISP. There are two types of variables available in LISP. They are the Global variables and Local variables.
Global variables have the scope throughout the program and they have permanent values throughout the LISP system until a new value is specified to it. They are declared using the defvar construct.
//example of declaring global variables
(defvar x 1) //here ‘x’ is a global variables.
Local variables are defined within a function or procedure and have scope within the function. They can be created using the setq, let, or prog construct.
//example of declaring local variables
(let (variable1 value 1))

Macros in the LISP are used to extend the syntax of the LISP. They are just a function that takes an s-expression as input arguments and returns a LISP form. Macros are defined using the construct defmacro. The macro definition consists of the name of the macro, a parameter list, an optional documentation string, and the body of the LISP expression. The LISP expression defines the job that is to be performed by the macro.

The number of data types in the LISP can be divided into two types. They are Scalar types and Data Structures.
* The Scalar types are called primitive types which include integer, float, cons, symbol, string, vector, subr, byte-code function, etc.
* The Data Structures are the complex types which include lists, vectors, bit-vectors, and strings.

The prefix notation is used to facilitate uniformity in LISP. LISP defines their entire syntax in prefix notation as it can be readily parsed into an abstract syntax tree. The prefix notation has seen a wide application in the LISP s-expressions. Here, the brackets are required as the operators in the language are data.

• Atom: It is a number or string of contiguous characters
• Lists : A list is a sequence of atoms or other lists enclosed in parentheses
• String: A group of characters enclosed in double quotation marks is referred as String.
LISP programs can be either run on an interpreter or as a compiled code.

The local variables are the variables that are defined within a given procedure. These variables don’t have scope outside the procedure in which it is defined. Parameters and arguments defined within a function definition are also called as local variables. These parameters don’t have scope outside the function definition. Local variables can be created using the setq, let, and prog constructs.

LISP is used for Artificial Intelligence for following reasons
• It supports the symbolic programming, and old AI was based on symbols
• LISP is powerful. The code or data distinction is weaker, so it feels more extensible than other programming languages which make it feels like a domain specific language
• It is an excellent prototyping tool and good at tackling problems

LISP (LISt Processor) is the second-oldest high-level programming language that is still used today. It was first created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs, but LISP soon became the favored programming language for Artificial Intelligence research. It was designed by John McCarthy.
LISP founded many ideas in computer science such as data structures, automatic storage management, dynamic typing, higher-order functions, recursion, self-hosting compiler, conditionals and more. The source code of the LISP is made up of linked list data structures as they are the major data structures in LISP. Released in the year 1958, LISP is a multi-paradigm, functional, and procedural programming language.
