2000, Matt Kaufmann, Panagiotis Manolios, J Strother Moore, Computer-aided reasoning: an approach:If we let x denote the tree (1 2 3), then the car of x is 1, the cdr of x is (2 3), the cadr of x is 2, the caddr of x is 3, and the cdddr of x is nil.
2004, Scott, Programming Principles Of Mulltimedia Systems, →ISBN, page 608:In effect, lazy evaluation would force things to happen in the proper order: The car of output is the first prompt. The cadr of output is the first square, a value that requires evaluation of the car of input. The caddr of output is the second prompt.
