From: Kalle Olavi Niemitalo Subject: circumference of a list? Date: Message-ID: <878zlo8lfc.fsf@PC486.y2000.kon.iki.fi>
The number of elements in a proper list is called its length. Are there words for the number of elements in the loop of a cdr-cyclic list, and for the number of elements in the stem before it turns circular? (In (a b . #1=(c . #1#)), the numbers would be 1 and 2.)
