rest (FUNCTION)

Format: (rest <exp> )

Required arguments: 1

<exp> : any Lisp expression which returns a list

The argument expression must evaluate to a list; rest returns all but the first element of this list. If the list is empty, i.e. is nil, rest returns nil.

Examples:

>  (rest '(1 2 3))
(2 3)

>  (rest '((a (b (c)) d) e (f)))
(E (F))

>  (rest '(z))
NIL

>  (rest ())
NIL

>  (rest 'a)
Error: A is not of type LIST
