Totally agree on decomposing the problem into a single independent steps. This is what I did not like about the trick (partition 2 1) trick although I feel envious somewhat that I did not come up with it. The trick introduced the semi-side-effect between functions as the notion of pairs (which has nothing to do with the problem itself ) was not isolated just to a single step. Now above solution which is closer to my Scala flow still suffers from the build in sort ... it almost seems we need a nested reduce to make the solution input sequence length independent A. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
