n.functions.tiers.ignore">Ignore</a>

<p>
            There is also an object called <span class="emphasis"><em>ignore</em></span> which allows
            you to ignore an element assigned by a sequence. The idea is that a function
            may return a sequence, only part of which you are interested in. For
            example:
          </p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">char</span> <span class="identifier">c</span><span class="special">;</span>
<a class="link" href=
