• list - a list, which might be a dotted list or a circular list.
• tail - an object.

Error: Attempted to take CDR of 1.

None.

None.

Should signal an error of type type-error if n is not a non-negative integer.

For n being an integer greater than 1, the error checking done by (nthcdr n list) is the same as for (nthcdr (- n 1) (cdr list)); see the function cdr.

Function CDR, Function NTH, Function REST

To be done.

None.
