Hi all,

I 'm a bit confused with this - I'm trying to think but I can't!!! Probably cos I've not had any food yet! Up till now I thought I could construct matrices with 'for'...So (for [i (range 3)] i) gives us a 1d structure (a list)... (for [i (range 3) j (range 4)] [i j]) gives us a 2d structure (list of vectors)

On that basis I wrote the following little macro thinking I'd be bale to create matrices with arbitrary dimensions:

(defn matrix [& dim-lengths]
(let [bindings (vec (mapcat #(vector (gensym) `(range ~%)) dim-lengths))
      symbols  (mapv first (partition 2 bindings))
      counts (count symbols)]
  `(for ~bindings  (if (< counts 1) ~symbols (first ~symbols)))))

Now, even though this expands to the 'for' I want I'm starting to think this is not the right approach for matrices...all I get is 2d structures regardless of how many dimensions I pass in...

any ideas anyone?

Jim
