The function returns a map with the keys being word pairs and the
value being a single word. It is a component of a larger program.
user=> (generate-chain "a quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog")
{("the" "lazy") ("dog"), ("over" "the") ("lazy"), ("jumps" "over")
("the"), ("fox" "jumps") ("over"), ("brown" "fox") ("jumps"), ("quick"
"brown") ("fox"), ("a" "quick") ("brown")}
As you said, there are definitely more efficient ways of doing this.
Basically, this is my friends first stab at Clojure, and I was mainly
trying to get to the bottom of why the overflow exception was
happening. Could you elaborate on your suggestion of using lazy-seq
some? I'm still a bit fuzzy on implementing my own lazy functions.
Thanks,
Travis
