(apply function list)

Make list do what func says.

This function performs a function to the list. The first argument, function, is either a pre-defined or user-defined function with a quote (') preceding it. The second argument must be a list. This function is useful when building a list dynamically.

Examples

Code	Returns
(apply '/ '(10 5))	2
(apply '> '(6 7))	nil

Notice that the following are equivalent to the previous examples:

Code	Returns
(/ 10 5)	2
(> 6 7)	nil
