PROPERTIES AND ARRAYS
---------------------------------
property lists and arrays* A procedure that creates data is a constructor.
* A procedure that extracts data is a reader.
* A procedure that changes data is a writer.

name is given as the value of the FATHER property.  Define GRANDFATHER,
a procedure that returns the name of a person's paternal grandfather, if
known, or NIL otherwise.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
11-2: Define ADAM, a procedure that returns the most distant male
ancestor of a person through the paternal line, working through the
FATHER property.  If no male ancestor is known, the procedure is to
return the name given as its argument.  For simplicity, assume that no
name is ever used twice.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
11-3: Define ANCESTORS, a procedure that returns a list consisting of
the person given as its argument together with all known ancestors of
the person.  It is to work through both the FATHER and MOTHER properties.
You may assume that related people do not have children together; that
is, there is never a way to get to any ancestor by two distinct paths.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
11-4: Suppose each city in a network of cities and highways is
represented by a symbol.  Further suppose that each city has a property
named NEIGHBORS.  The value of the NEIGHBORS property is a list of all
the other cities for which there is a direct highway connection.Define CONNECT, a procedure that takes two cities as arguments and puts
each into a list which the value of the NEIGHBORS property of the other.
Write CONNECT such if a connection is already in place, CONNECT changes
nothing and returns NIL; otherwise CONNECT returns T.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
11-5: Suppose that the value of the position property is a list of two
coordinates.  Assuming a flat earth, write DISTANCE, a procedure
that calculates the distance between two cities based on the values of
their POSITION properties.  Remember that SQRT calculates square roots.-----------------------------------------------------------------------* (setf part-bins (make-array '(4)))* (setf checker-board (make-array '(8 8)))* (setf part-bins (make-array 4))* (setf part-bins (make-array 4 :initial-element 'e))

white pieces minus the number of black pieces in the CHECKER-BOARD
array.  Assume ordinary pieces are represented by W and B and kings
are represented by W-KING and B-BING.  Also one king is worth two
ordinary pieces.解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解解11-1:
(defun grandfather (x)(when (get x 'father)(get (get x 'father) 'father)))The following, more efficient solution binds a LET parameter to the
value returned by GET:(defun grandfather (x)(let ((father (get x 'father)))(when father(get father 'father))))

11-6: The following solution works, but inefficiently, inasmuch
as it looks at the white squares, which cannot hold pieces:(defun static-value (board)(let ((result 0))(dotimes (m 8 result)(dotimes (n 8)(cond ((eq 'white (aref board m n))(setf result (+ 1 result)))((eq 'black (aref board m n))(setf result (- result 1)))((eq 'white-king (aref board m n))(setf result (+ result 2)))((eq 'black-king (aref board m n))(setf result (- result 2))))))))How could you improve the efficiency of the procedure?
