(apply str [2 3]) does the same thing as (str 2 3), which is to attempt to
convert each of its args to a string, then concatenate them all.
(apply inc [4 5]) does the same thing as (inc 4 5), which is to throw an
exception because inc takes exactly one argument and returns that value
plus 1.
This site has more examples of apply, and many other Clojure functions, too:
