Hi,

I'm learning LISP and I'm looking for some exercises.
Can somebody point me to a webpage where I can find exercises from easy 
level to difficult ?
(I'm following the book Practical Common LISP)

Thanks in advance.
Peter

The book (available free online) Structure and Interpretation of
Computer Programs has a lot of exercises of varying difficulty which I
found interesting when learning lisp/scheme.

I found a lot of great problems at TopCoder and just tried to implement
them in LISP for practice. In some cases it was so obvious how to do it
and LISP so perfect for implementation, that the solution could be four
lines or so. Other kinds of problems were harder to conceptualize for me.

Go to www.topcoder.com, click on Algorithm Competitions, click on
Advanced Search, then click on Problem Archive. I think to see any
problem you have to register, but its free.

I couldn't just understand some of the examples of that book the way I
like, it is, knowing all the implications of some function or macro and
not just copy-paste and modify to see what happens.

The book I really understood is:
COMMON LISP
An Interactive Approach
STUART C. SHAPIRO

The exercises range from very very trivial, to just complex enough to
do with what you just learned.

Of course, YMMV
