Clojure Functional Koans http://trptcolin.github.com USB Drives Thursday, August 12, 2010
REPL => Read => Evaluate => Print Thursday, August 12,
2010
java -jar /path/to/clojure.jar (+ JRE functional-koans) => WIN! From Functional
Koans directory: Mac / Linux: ./repl.sh Windows: repl From anywhere: Thursday, August 12, 2010
Functions Thursday, August 12, 2010
clojure.test user=> (is (= 1 2)) FAIL in clojure.lang.PersistentList$EmptyList@1 15)
expected: (= 1 2) actual: (not (= 1 2)) false user=> (use ‘clojure.test) nil user=> (is (= 1 1)) true Thursday, August 12, 2010
Equality user=> (is (= “Colin” “Colin”)) true user=> (is (=
nil nil)) true user=> (is (= ‘(1 2 3) [1 2 3])) true user=> (is (= 1.0 1 4/4)) true Thursday, August 12, 2010
Math fun(ctions) user=> (is (= 15 (+ 1 2 3
4 5))) true user=> (is (< 1 2 3)) true Thursday, August 12, 2010
Hide and seq? user=> (is (= :a (first [:a :b
:c]))) true user=> (is (= [:c :b :a] (reverse [:a :b :c]))) true user=> (is (= [:b :c] (rest [:a :b :c]))) true Thursday, August 12, 2010
Defining our own functions user=> (def square-1 (fn [x] (*
x x))) #‘user/square-1 user=> (defn square-3 [x] (* x x)) #‘user/square-3 user=> (def square-2 #(* % %)) #‘user/square-2 user=> (is (= 9 (square-1 3))) true user=> (is (= 9 (square-2 3))) true user=> (is (= 9 (square-3 3))) true Thursday, August 12, 2010
map user=> (defn square [x] (* x x)) #‘user/square user=>
(is (= ‘(1 4 9 16 25) (map square ‘(1 2 3 4 5)))) true Thursday, August 12, 2010
filter user=> (is (= [odd?] (filter fn? [“odd” :odd odd?])))
true Thursday, August 12, 2010
apply user=> (is (= “dog” (str \d \o \g))) true
user=> (is (= “dog” (str dog-letters))) FAIL in clojure.lang.PersistentList$EmptyList expected: (= “dog” (str dog-letters)) actual: (not (= “dog” “[\\d \\o \\g]”)) false user=> (def dog-letters [\d \o \g]) true user=> (is (= “dog” (apply str dog-letters))) true Thursday, August 12, 2010
Laziness Thursday, August 12, 2010
The whole numbers user=> (def whole-numbers (iterate inc 0)) #‘user/whole-numbers

Let’s try it in the REPL user=> (def whole-numbers (iterate
inc 0)) #‘user/whole-numbers user=> whole-numbers (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 OH NOEZ!!! Thursday, August 12, 2010
Don’t hold onto your head user=> (def whole-numbers (iterate inc
0)) #‘user/whole-numbers user=> (first (drop 10000000 whole-numbers)) Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space user=> (defn whole-numbers [] (iterate inc 0)) #'user/whole-numbers user=> (first (drop 10000000 (whole-numbers))) 10000000 Thursday, August 12, 2010
