Try this: (take 3 (filter #(< (second %) 10) (iterate (fn [[a b]] [(* 2 a) (/ a (Math/log a))]) [2 (/ 2 (Math/log 2))]))) If you try to take 10 values, you will create an endless loop because with the given parameters your sequence actually has less than ten elements that satisfy the condition! > a 2nd question is more of general clojure idiom, in trying to covert > the following java code from michaelg's java 1 presentation > > private int calcSize(){ > int max = 2; > while ((max/Math.log(max)) < size && > max < Integer.MAX_VALUE && max > 0){ > max *=2; > } > return max; > } > > My first reaction was to do it using a sequence. Is this the clojure > idiomatic way to convert a while loop from other languages? Clojure has loops as well: (let [size 10] ;made up (loop [max 2] (if (or (>= (/ max (Math/log max)) size) (>= max Integer/MAX_VALUE) (<= max 0)) max (recur (* 2 max))))) Konrad. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
