6.3.5 Calling functions with lists of arguments

The call($f,a$) function can be used to call a function with an arbitrary list of arguments. For example:

pyxplot> print romanNumeral(2012)
MMXII
pyxplot> print call(romanNumeral,[2012])
MMXII
pyxplot> print pow(2,8)
256
pyxplot> print call(pow,[2,8])
256
