Hi, as you might know, the original version actually does run in fixed stack space, thanks to lazy sequences.
(defn skl [tree] (map skl (filter seq? tree))) loop .. recur is the moral equivalent of a while(true) loop in imperative style. i.e. a slightly disguised (and somewhat more structured) goto Only use that as a lowlevel implementation detail. You can express mostly anything with the sequence library of clojure Consider (defn find-in-tree ([tree pred?] (concat (filter pred? tree) (mapcat find-in-tree (filter sequential? tree) (repeat pred?))))) which of course is much simpler written as (defn find-in-tree ([tree pred?] (filter pred? (flatten tree)))) all of which are lazy, hence consume constant stack space kind regards -- __________________________________________________________________ Herwig Hochleitner -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
