<lang lisp>; call a function (procedure) with no arguments: |
|||
(foo) |
|||
; call a function (procedure) with arguments: |
|||
(foo bar baz) |
|||
; the first symbol after "(" is the name of the function |
|||
; the other symbols are the arguments |
|||
; call a function on a list of arguments formed at run time: |
|||
(apply foo bar) |
|||
; In a REPL, the return value will be printed. |
|||
; In other contexts, it can be fed as argument into a further function: |
|||
(foo (bar baz)) |
|||
; this calls bar on the argument baz and then calls foo on the return value |
|||
; or it can simply be discarded |
|||
(foo bar) |
|||
; nothing is done with the return value |
