Hi, I have a simple question regarding identical?: I understand that keywords with the same name refer to the same object. So
(identical? :ab :ab) returns true. Now, if I do the following thing: (identical? "ab" (str "a" "b")) I get false, because my 2 strings are not the same objects even if they represent the same sequence of characters. Now, when I do this: (identical? "ab" "ab") I get true. Could someone explain me why these 2 strings are the same object? I think this topic was already adressed here: http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/c3d8d6101eb3a323/7a9f69ff900c2bab?lnk=gst&q=identical#7a9f69ff900c2bab and here http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/e43af17a0424b1cd but I did not understand everything. Thanks a lot for your help, Regards, Nicolas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
