1Overview

The LISTOFLIST package (depends on xarray) contains functions and methods for handling list-of-lists as array substitutes as well as conversions between the two data structures. The general API is that of XARRAY, but we have added a few convenience functions, as well.

This is part of the core suite of Common Lisp Statistics System (CLS) packages.

;;; What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not make software
;;; 'releases'.  Our software 'escapes', leaving a bloody trail of
;;; designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

;;; This organization and structure is new to the 21st Century
;;; version..   Think, "21st Century Schizoid Man".

4Snips to repair and solve

4.1Unit tests

(in-package :listoflist-unittests)
;; (describe (run-tests :suite 'lol-ut))   ;; only from commandline
(run-tests :suite 'lol-ut)
