Elisp: Iterate over List (dolist)

dolist

dolist

• (dolist (VAR LIST) BODY)
• (dolist (VAR LIST RESULT) BODY)

• Loop over a List.
• Each time eval BODY, with VAR having value of an element in list.
• Return nil or RESULT.
• RESULT is evaluated last.

🟢 TIP: for sequence, use seq-doseq. 〔see Elisp: Sequence. Foreach (mapc, seq-do, seq-doseq)〕

(dolist (n (list 1 2 3 4 5))
  (insert (number-to-string n)))
;; inserts 12345
;; return nil
