Why won't this print out anything?

Question

Why won't this print out anything, but it works if i just use (print "ASDAS") ,I'm using LightTable and It's printint out in the console.

(defn try [x]
 (print ("ASDASD")
))

(try 5) 

Answer 1

try is a special form for exception handling. See the Clojure Documentation for it.

You can either:

• Refer to it directly via (your-ns-here/try 5), likely (user/try 5).
• Use a different name for your function.
