When an expression is not in a value context, it is given type Void. For example, in the expression
values are used only from the subexpressions c and f: all others are thrown away. The subexpressions a, b, d and e are evaluated for side-effects only and have type Void. There is a unique value of type Void.
You will most often see results of type Void when you declare a variable.
Usually no output is displayed for Void results. You can force the display of a rather ugly object by issuing )set message void on.
All values can be converted to type Void.
Once a value has been converted to Void, it cannot be recovered.
