Extra pair of []? What do you mean? The destructuring pattern is: [[a [b]] & leftover] The pattern you're matching is: (("one" ("two")) "three" ((("four")))) So: a = "one" b = "two" leftover = '("three ((("four")))) All seems pretty correct to me. Is it just the "&" that's confusing? > Also not sure about the last (on strings). Well, if you turn a string into a sequence, you get a sequence of chars. \a is a char, so (seq "abc") is (\a \b \c). The destructuring pattern is: [a b c & leftover] The pattern you're matching is: (\1 \2 \3 \g \o) So: a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 and leftover = (\g \o) Does that make things any clearer, or have I just confused you further? :) - James --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
