Expert Solution
Explanation

1) Below is LISP program that defines a function that takes one list parameter and print all the elements of the list using the function princ and a space between them.

  • It first defines defines a new function called print-list that takes a single parameter, lst, which is a list.
    • It then uses the mapc function to apply a lambda function to each element of the list, which prints the element using the princ function and a space using another princ function call.
    • Add a new line after list is printed using terpri
  • Then there a few examples of testing this function and display the list to console
    • using normal function call
    • using the function apply
    • using the function funcall

2) Save this program in lsp file and run
