# Special Forms Special forms are constructs that Keithlisp evaluates differently from other S-expressions. ## `quote` ``` quote form ``` `quote` returns `form` as-is, without performing any evaluation on it. ## `cond` ``` cond {(test {body-form}*)}* ``` `cond` is Keithlisp's basic conditional operator. It consists of zero or more clauses (a `test`, followed by zero or more `body-form`s). `cond` evaluates the `test` of each clause in order. If the result is non-nil, `cond` skips all remaining clauses, evaluates each `body-form`, and returns the result of the last one (or the result of `test` if the clause has no `body-form`s). Otherwise, if all `test`s evaluate to nil, or no clauses were given, `cond` returns nil.
