6 Self-contained examples

This chapter enumerates the set of examples in the LispWorks library relevant to the content of this manual. Each example file contains complete, self-contained code and detailed comments, which include one or more entry points near the start of the file which you can run to start the program.

To run the example code:

1. Open the file in the Editor tool in the LispWorks IDE. Evaluating the call to example-edit-file shown below will achieve this.
2. In some cases you can simply compile the example code, by Ctrl+Shift+B, and then place the cursor at the end of the entry point form and press Ctrl+X Ctrl+E to run it. However the comments near the start of the file may have specific instructions, such as how to build a delivered executable or library, so follow these if present.

6.1 Argument passing

6.2 Aggregation
