Like "let", but the bindings are sequential and interdependent (not parallel
and independent). You can use variables bound previously in subsequent
variable bindings of the same "let*".
E.g.
(let* ((foo 2) ; define foo
(bar (* 3 foo))) ; use foo to define bar
(format "foo: %s, bar: %s" foo bar))
=>
foo: 2, bar: 6
-----Original Message-----
Can someone explain the operation of the 'let*' operation?
