Hello,
There's something I don't understand : I've used this code :
(ns clojure.examples.createfn)
(defn create-fn []
(fn [] (println "hi")))
(defn test-create-fn [n]
(time (dotimes [x n]
(create-fn))))
and made these tests :
user=> (require 'clojure.examples.createfn :reload)
nil
user=> (clojure.examples.createfn/test-create-fn 40000000)
"Elapsed time: 356.096374 msecs"
nil
user=> (clojure.examples.createfn/test-create-fn 4000000000)
"Elapsed time: 0.013218 msecs"
nil
When I call test-create-fn with 4000000000, the elapsed time falls down to
zero : I suspect it does nothing, and in the same time it does not seem to
correctly crash by throwing an exception ?
I've tested the correct handling of that high numeric values by clojure, it
sounds ok :
user=> (println 4000000000)
4000000000
nil
user=> (dec 4000000000)
3999999999
Can someone explain me what happens here ?
