Please note that actually def'ing each value is not what you're supposed to do :) def is reserved for global constants and dynamically rebindable variables, and redefing an existing variable is considered bad style. You might do something like this: (defn children [father mother & children] (let [base {:father father :mother mother}] (for [c children] (assoc base :name c)))) ;; note, that's not a for loop, but a seq comprehension which, when called like (children "John" "Mary" "Cindy" "Gary") produces a (lazy) sequence of maps representing the children. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
