Two mistakes: First, if you want sum to take a vector, you should remove the & from the arglist. Second, (rest(other)) should be (rest other).
This buys you: user> (defn sum [more ] ((fn [total other] (if other (recur (+ total (first other)) (rest other)) total)) 0 more)) #'user/sum user> (sum [1 2 3 4]) 10 (of course, sum could also be defined as just (apply + more) or (reduce + more)). -Jason --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
