I've read that loop/recur is less preferable to using higher-level
function calls like reduce and for and map, especially when chunked
seqs are implemented. But is can the loop below be rewritten to use
those functions instead? It's a loop that iterates over one vector and
changes both the vector and a map until a certain condition becomes
true. I can't figure out how to use Clojure's high-level functions
instead of loop/recur:
(Let an-initial-vector be a vector; an-initial-map be a map; and
modify-stack, modify-heads, and final-result be functions.)
(loop [current-stack an-initial-vector
current-heads an-initial-map
current-index 0]
(let [current-element (current-stack current-index)]
(if (or (condition-true? current-element)
(>= index (count current-stack)))
(recur
(update-in current-stack [current-index]
modify-stack)
(modify-heads current-heads current-element)
(inc current-index))
(final-result current-stack current-heads))))
If it helps, it's possible that current-stack and current-heads to be
merged into a single map that contains a :stack and a :heads key:
(loop [current-data {:stack an-initial-vector
:heads an-initial-map}
current-index 0]
(let [current-element ((:stack current-data)
current-index)]
(if (or (condition-true? current-element)
(>= index (count current-stack)))
(recur
(-> current-data
(update-in [:stack current-index] modify-stack)
(update-in [:heads] modify-heads current-element))
(inc current-index))
(final-result current-data))))
