Dear all, Normally when you write a function F that returns a value, entering "F();" into the command line will display the full return value of the function. You can suppress this output calling the function using the double-semicolon "F();;" in the terminal.
Is it possible to suppress this output from *within the function*? I.e., I'd like to write a function "F" which returns a value, but even when using the single-semicolon "F();" on the command line, it does not display its return value. I'm asking because I'm writing a function whose return value is very long, and I don't want to accidentally spam my terminal whenever I forget to use the double-semicolon. Specifically I'd want to be able to enter something like "X := F();" into the terminal, without seeing a return value.
