http://clojure.org/functional_programming answers your question more explicitly than the API docs: "... the recur special operator<http://clojure.org/special_forms>, which does constant-space recursive looping by rebinding and jumping to the nearest enclosing loop or function frame." In other words, you can recur to any function, and recur won't jump out of a function to a higher level loop. --Shawn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
