Subject: Difference between cons and dot
Date: Sat, 20 Apr 2024 12:20:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <R-qPWpodtW9t7-px5uKmUqpEfMjQAIW1X4gUlPFqq7K0YDnxG7s-_0_6iP503RGEhjCphoGsZIaFuj1ViWb9BtwN4XdVbJSYwJRONlANvT4=@protonmail.com> (raw)
Am adding an elemnt to an alist using either the cons or dot method.
Have noticed that with cons I do not need to call list
Thusly
(push (cons kfrz lnum) tema-lugar)
rather than
(push '(cons kfrz lnum) tema-lugar)
But with the dot method I have to use
(push '(kfrz . lnum) tema-lugar)
and not
(push (kfrz . lnum) tema-lugar)
What is the reason for this difference ?
