So in Lisp/Scheme, there are these 'symbols', which are basically, if I understand correctly, and correct me if I'm wrong, references to variables (not their values). I was wondering if there's a JavaScript equivalent to that? Thank you!

I am reading the book Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming : Case studies in Common LISP by Peter Norvig, and in the chapter about the special forms for conditionals it says that they all can be replaced by the if…
I am in an Artificial Intelligence course and we were given a program to write. The program is apparently simple, and all other students did it in java. However I know that it can be done in LISP with less…
I'm trying to implement heuristic search strategy A* to the puzzle "8-puzzle" in Lisp. To run my search I use the command: (run-best '(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 B 7) '(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7…
