#### 25.2.21 +, ++, +++ [Variable]

#### Value Type::

an object.

#### Initial Value::

implementation-dependent.

#### Description::

The variables +, ++, and +++ are maintained by the Lisp read-eval-print loop to save forms that were recently evaluated.

The value of + is the last form that was evaluated, the value of ++ is the previous value of +, and the value of +++ is the previous value of ++.

#### Examples::

    (+ 0 1) ⇒  1
    (- 4 2) ⇒  2
    (/ 9 3) ⇒  3
    (list + ++ +++) ⇒  ((/ 9 3) (- 4 2) (+ 0 1))
    (setq a 1 b 2 c 3 d (list a b c)) ⇒  (1 2 3)
    (setq a 4 b 5 c 6 d (list a b c)) ⇒  (4 5 6)
    (list a b c) ⇒  (4 5 6)
    (eval +++) ⇒  (1 2 3)
    #.`(,@++ d) ⇒  (1 2 3 (1 2 3))
