Some newbie questions about LISP

Hello guys, I'm absoloutely new to LISP language, and to this user
group, but I really wanna learn, so here's my question:
- Is there any way of treating numbers in a bit-level? (binary AND and
OR operators, bit shifting operators, anything!)

I'm just trying to code a genetic algorithm in LISP, but my teacher
wants me to do "binary coding" to the values.
(Also if there's any LISP Genetic Algorithm code you've seen around, tell me)

Thanks!

See here

  <http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/c_number.htm>,

specifically ASH and the entries from BOOLE to MASK-FIELD, and here

  <http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/c_arrays.htm>

for bit arrays and vectors.

Cheers,
Edi.

As usual, google is your friend here. All of these I originally found with a simple web search like:

lisp genetic algorithms
