Help for some functions



First of all. thank you for your fast response.

I tried this:
x:make_array(flonum,64);
y:make_array(flonum,64);
for i:0 thru 63 do x[i]:float(random(1000));
for i:0 thru 63 do y[i]:float(random(1000));
b:fft(x,y);

but i take this for b:
fft(Lisp array [64],Lisp array [64])

How can i see the values of b;

Thanks again,
Nick
