I designed this because of an online post from a mathematician talking about the number 1000! . Code like this is difficult to write in C-like languages, but a snap in LISP, as the following code demonstrates.

You should be able to figure out how to make more complex programs just by thinking about it. For example, if (+ '1 '2) is how you add numbers, then (* '1 '2) would multiply numbers. String them together for more complexity --- (* (+ '1 '2) (+ '3 '4)). Note that, with numbers, you can use '1 or 1 -- it's basically the same thing. With variables, it is different. Designed using CLISP.
