Hi All,
So, I've been doing some experimentation in order to better understand
the reader, and I can't figure out why I get the following results for
these four calls:
=> ('foo) ; ((quote foo))
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong number of args (0) passed
to: Symbol (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0)
=> ('foo 1) ; ((quote foo) 1)
nil
=> ('foo 1 2) ; ((quote foo) 1 2)
2
=> ('foo 1 2 3)
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong number of args (3) passed
to: Symbol (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0)
What I expected is that either foo would be invoked (and so I'd see an
error because it didn't exist) *or* I'd get a list ala (foo 1 2)
- further, I can't understand why I get "nil" for an arity of 1 but
"2" for an arity of two).
Anyone have an explanation? I'm off to find the impl for "Symbol" and
see if I can figure out how it is being invoked here...
Thanks,
Bill
