All numbers in this book are in decimal notation unless
|
||
|
|
there is an explicit indication to the contrary.
|
||
|
|
(Decimal notation is normally taken for granted, of course.
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately, for certain other dialects of Lisp, MacLisp in particular,
|
||
|
|
the default notation for numbers is octal (base 8) rather than decimal,
|
||
|
|
and so the use of decimal notation for describing Common Lisp is,
|
||
|
|
taken in its historical context, a bit unusual!)
