Context/overview: Common Lisp is an object-oriented , functional programming language frequently used for resolving AI problems. In addition, CLISP is an ANSI
Common Lisp implementation.

Specific questions:
Visit the Sourceforge web site, and download appropriate version of CLISP for your machine.
Install the CLISP on your machine by following installation instructions provided in the lecture section
Use your favorite editor (Emacs, notepad, etc) and edit (write) the code for the problems provided below. Once the code is edited, fully debug the code, and
then compile it
To load the code, use the load command:
User (1)☹load “c:\lisp\test.lisp” )
To compile the code, one that is fully debugged, use the following command:
User (2)☹compile-file “c:\lisp\test.lisp” )
Problem 1: Exponential function
Assume that both B(base), and e (exponent) are non-negative integer numbers. Implement the function power that calculates the B for the given E. Enter your
function definition into a text file. Then load it into LISP. Execute the function for the values (power 3 3).
Take a screenshot of the execution, and paste it into MS word document. Provide the appropriate description of the screenshot.
Additionally, attach and submit your Notepad file into the assignment dropbox.
Problem 2: Calculating Fibonacci Series
The Fibonacci sequence is a sequence of numbers in which each successive number in the sequence is obtained by adding the two previous numbers in the
sequence.
If we know that :
Fib(0)=1
Fib(1)=1
Fib(n) = Fib(n-1) + Fib(n-2) for n>1
Implement the function Fib that calculates Fibonacci sequence for given n
Enter your function definition into a text file. Then load it into LISP. Execute the function for the value (Fib 5).
