Here's an alternative, more "mappy" definition using the cl-format
function I posted earlier:
(defn multipication-table [limit]
(let [nums (range 1 (inc limit))]
(cl-format true "~{~{~4d~}~%~}"
(map #(map % nums)
(map #(partial * %) nums))))))
user> (multipication-table 12)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24
3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 33 36
4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 44 48
5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60
6 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 54 60 66 72
7 14 21 28 35 42 49 56 63 70 77 84
8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64 72 80 88 96
9 18 27 36 45 54 63 72 81 90 99 108
10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120
11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 110 121 132
12 24 36 48 60 72 84 96 108 120 132 144
(These line up in columns in a fixed width font :-))
This is nice because there's no loop/recur to think about and the
computation is separated from the printing. It's all first-order.
