</h5>
<p>
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cons</span></code> is a simple <a href="../concepts/forward_sequence.html" title="Forward
Sequence">Forward Sequence</a>.
It is a lisp style recursive list structure where <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">car</span></code>
is the <span class="emphasis"><em>head</em></span> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cdr</span></code>
is the <span class="emphasis"><em>tail</em></span>: usually another cons structure or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">nil</span></code>: the empty list. Fusion's <a href="list.html" title="list"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">list</span></code></a> is built on top of this more
primitive data structure. It is more efficient than <a href="vector.html" title="vector"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">vector</span></code></a> when the target sequence
is constructed piecemeal (a data at a time). The runtime cost of access
to each element is peculiarly constant (see <a href="../../notes.html#fusion.notes.recursive_inlined_functions">Recursive
Inlined Functions</a>).
