Note that -1 will display items differently than letting q display them

$ cat test.q
a:til 10
f:{"the answer is "," "sv string x*y}
f[a;200] //Result will print but include "" around it
f2:{-1 "the answer is "," "sv string x*y}
f2[a;200] //Result printed to standard out does not display "". -1 is also shown as the returned value.
f2[a;200]; // Same as above but ; suppresses -1 bring shown
f3:{-1 "the answer is "," "sv string x*y;}
f3[a;200] //; moved inside the function to supress -1
$q test.q
"the answer is 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800" //f[a;200]
the answer is 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 //f2[a;200]
-1                                                       //f2[a;200] continued
the answer is 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 //f2[a;200];
the answer is 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 //f3[a;200]
