The only value in Common Lisp that is false is <tt>nil</tt>, the empty list. |
|||
Everything else is true. The constant <tt>t</tt> represents the canonical true value. |

=={{header|Scheme}}== |
|||
The only value in Scheme that is false is <tt>#f</tt>. |
|||
Everything else (including the empty list, unlike Lisp) is true. The constant <tt>#t</tt> represents the canonical true value. |
