Hi all,
I am learning Clojure and would like to see if there is a better/more
concise/faster/more idiomatic/etc. way to create the age-index below. My
version seems awfully roundabout. The basic concept is a toy database table
stored as a hashmap. Each row has a row-id and and a vector of data [name,
age]. I then create an index on the age column. The index should yield a
row-id for the given age value. My code below works as designed, but I'd
like to see how the age-index could be improved.
Thanks for your insights.
Chad
------------ code begin ----------------
(use '[clojure.contrib.seq-utils :only (flatten)])
(def data {
0 ["Fred" 30],
1 ["Wilma" 26],
2 ["Bam-bam" 2],
3 ["Dino" 3]})
(def age-index
(apply sorted-map
(flatten (map #(list
(nth (val %) 1)
(key %))
data))))
(defn name-by-age [age]
(first (data (age-index age))))
(println (name-by-age 26))
------------------ code end -------------------
