Lisp offers all the data types we find in most other language, along with several others that we don’t. One data type we have used already is the integer, which is written as a series of digits: ‘256’. Another data type Lisp has in common with most other languages is the string, which is represented as a series of characters surrounded by double quotes: ‘"ora et labora"’. Integers and strings both evaluate to themselves.
