  •  I always explain that SKILL has three function calling syntaxes:

    1. C-like
      myFunc(arg1 arg2 arg3)
    2. LISP-like
      (myFunc arg1 arg2 arg3)
    3. Lazy
      myFunc arg1 arg2 arg3

    The "Lazy" syntax is fine whenever you don't need to use the return value of the function, which in practice means you cannot use it whenever the function call is surrounded by anything (including  procedure, let etc). In practice I always explain when teaching that this should be used for quick (lazy) typing in the CIW only.
