loop/recur is almost exactly like Scheme's "named let" (basically loop/recur is a named let that is always named "recur", so it looks like the Clojure code with the keyword "loop" replaced by "let recur"), so if you find that style more intuitive than recursive helper functions, look up "named let" the next time you're working in Scheme. Scheme's style is slightly more flexible because you can pick a more meaningful name than recur if you like. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
