Title
Body
I'm reading Land of Lisp (which is by the way, one of the best technical books I have ever read) and I have come across the "association list": (defparameter *edges* '((living-room (garden west door) (attic upstairs ladder)) (garden (living-room east door)) (attic (living-room downstairs ladder)))) Is an association list in Lisp the same concept of Java's Map (key-value binding)? For living-room key, how it is possible to have more than one value? Why enclose the value with a list? '(living-room ((garden west door) (attic upstairs ladder)))
