Problem Statement

Create a function which takes in a variable number of arguments and prints each one on its own line. Also show, if possible in your language, how to call the function on a list of arguments constructed at runtime.

Functions of this type are also known as Variadic Functions.

Let's start with the solution:

show([L]) := block([n], n: length(L), for i from 1 thru n do disp(L[i]))$

show(1, 2, 3, 4);

apply(show, [1, 2, 3, 4]);

/* Actually, the built-in function "disp" is already what we want */
disp(1, 2, 3, 4);

apply(disp, [1, 2, 3, 4]);
