Hi Milen,
The function `conj` "conjoins" an item into a Clojure collection. In your
case, you need to define both `coll` and `item` for the example to work.
Consider these examples -
(conj [1 2 3] 4)
(conj '(1 2 3) 4)
(conj #{1 2 3} 4)
(def coll [1 2 3 4 5])
(def item 6)
(conj coll item)
etc.
I hope that helps.
