It's worth noting here that one can also use binding to override other than arithmetic core functions; (defn ustr [s] (binding [clojure.core/str (fn [x] (.toUpperCase x))] (str s))) user=> (ustr "aaa") "AAA" As expected, that doesn't work with +; (defn xplus [a b] (binding [clojure.core/+ (fn [x y] (- x y))] (+ a b))) user=> (xplus 5 2) 7 Rgds, Adrian. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
