25.2.21 +, ++, +++ [Variable]

Value Type::

an object.

Initial Value::

implementation-dependent.

Description::

The variables +, ++, and +++ are maintained by the Lisp read-eval-print loop to save forms that were recently evaluated.

The value of + is the last form that was evaluated, the value of ++ is the previous value of +, and the value of +++ is the previous value of ++.

Examples::
     (+ 0 1) =>  1
     (- 4 2) =>  2
     (/ 9 3) =>  3
     (list + ++ +++) =>  ((/ 9 3) (- 4 2) (+ 0 1))
     (setq a 1 b 2 c 3 d (list a b c)) =>  (1 2 3)
     (setq a 4 b 5 c 6 d (list a b c)) =>  (4 5 6)
     (list a b c) =>  (4 5 6)
     (eval +++) =>  (1 2 3)
     #.`(,@++ d) =>  (1 2 3 (1 2 3))
Affected By::
