C-h a eval RET
[Of these, the functions I find more useful are:]
(snip)
eval-buffer M-x eval-buffer RET
Command: Execute the current buffer as Lisp code.
(snip)
eval-last-sexp C-x C-e
Command: Evaluate sexp before point; print value in minibuffer.
(snip)
eval-region M-x eval-region RET
Command: Execute the region as Lisp code.
