Subject: defun vs lambda
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:30:13 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b453056c-ef8e-47ba-aa45-1c90fef7233c@k1g2000yqf.googlegroups.com> (raw)

Hi,

I know I can return a function from another function, like this:

(setq f (lambda () 2))

but I have to call it like (funcall f). Is there anyway that I could
do:

(setf f (defun () 2) and then be able to call (f) ?

Thanks
weber
