(-189 50) But if numbers should default to positive but not be coerced to negative, e.g., a -189 just for (short -0xBD) this might work, using nil for out of range values: (map #(try (Short/parseShort % 16) (catch Throwable t nil)) ["ff43" "- bd" "0032"]) > On a related note: if I have the symbol for a type, like "short" or > "int" or "byte", is there a way to ask Clojure what size word that > represents? I don't know if there's anything predefined, but you can always fall back to using (Short/MIN_VALUE), (Short/MAX_VALUE), etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
