single argument.

<P><A name="1">[1]</A>
Two different invocations of <tt>f</tt> may return different results, even
if <tt>f</tt> is called with the same arguments both times.
A Unary Function may refer to local state, perform I/O,
and so on. The expression <tt>f(x)</tt> is permitted to change <tt>f</tt>'s state.
