confused about the apply() operation

archive

I am confused about the operation of the apply(), when applied on and().

As far as I know, the apply() works in a way, that the elements of the second list argument are bouned to the formal argumets of a function provided as a first argument and then the function is called.
If I try
    apply('and list(list(1 2)) )
I obtain the following error :
*Error* eval: not a function - 1
However when trying and(list(1 2)) (what should be IMHO the same), the result is :
(1 2)

OK, so it looks like the apply() function calls eval on each element of the second argument. However, when trying
apply('print list(list(1 2) ) )
I obtain
(1 2)
nil

, what means that the eval is not called by apply(). Can someone explain this?

Thanks,
Miro

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for the comments, that clarifies much. I would be interested a bit about how does the SKILL work "in behind" - the byte code, more about GC etc. Could you maybe recommend me some resources ?

    Btw. I am thinking about taking one of the SKILL trainings offered by Cadence (either "Skill Language Programming" or "Advanced SKILL Language Programming"). I have ~1 year experience with SKILL, working on scripts for PDK regression testing. Do you know something about these trainings - number of people on trainings, what kind of tasks are solved in "project" part of the training, etc. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Miro
