> who sent me a Lisp program computing ... I don't really know Lisp, but how do you get a Lisp to run that expression? I tried it in Emacs Lisp, Racket, Common

  You must write your own lisp, and that’s the beauty of it.

  This is the lisp-way: (* 48 (+ (* 4 10) (* 2 30) (* 5 20) (* 6 20) (* 6 25) (* 15 10) ))

  > # sum(years * (hours/week)) * (weeks/year) Appears to be Python? Here's it converted to Common Lisp: (defun sum (years hours-per-week weeks-per-year) (* (* years hours-per-week) weeks-per-year))

  Definitely not LISP. LISP uses a prefix notation, the expression in the post uses infix (like most programming languages).

    Yes it's definitely Python. Not sure why I wrote Lisp (other than that my variants of Lisp look like that, with mixed fix notation).
