Hello Common-lisp,

I've just joined this list. I'm completely new to LISP and I'm not sure
what the sort of tone to this list is; are newbie questions alright?

I'll take a bit of a gamble and post my first ever LISP program for
scrutiny, it takes a number as an argument and returns T if its prime
and NIL if its not. (It doesn't do the non-algorithmic primes...)

========================================
(defun prime-rfunc (x iterator)
	(if (= x iterator) (not ())
		(if (= 0 (mod x iterator)) () (prime-rfunc x (1+ iterator)))))

(defun prime (x) (prime-rfunc x 2))

(print (prime 1471))
========================================

Look forward to some comments!

Cheers,
Richard
