Sample Program

def inc(#)
  cons(:one, #)
def add(#, other)
  if eq?(#, :nil) then other else self(<tail #, inc(other))
def mul(#, other)
  if eq?(#, :nil) then :nil else
    add(other, self(<tail #, other))
def fact(#)
  if eq?(#, :nil) then cons(:one, :nil) else
    mul(#, self(<tail #))
def four(#)
  cons(:one, cons(:one, cons(:one, cons(:one, #))))
fact(four(:nil))
