there's another edge case when using and/or :
getting passed an unbound var where for example `nil?` and `str` applied
to it don't throw, and of course also `or` and `and`, ie.:
=> (def a)
#'cgws.notcore/a
=> a
#<Unbound Unbound: #'cgws.notcore/a>
=> (nil? a)
false
=> (str a)
"Unbound: #'cgws.notcore/a"
=> (or a)
#<Unbound Unbound: #'cgws.notcore/a>
=> (or 1 2 a)
1
=> (or a 1 2)
#<Unbound Unbound: #'cgws.notcore/a>
=> (and 1 2 3 a)
#<Unbound Unbound: #'cgws.notcore/a>
=> (and a 1 2 3)
3
=> (type a)
clojure.lang.Var$Unbound
=> (cond a 2)
2
=> (when a 3)
3
=> (if a 4 5)
4
=> (bound? #'a)
false
=> (bound? a) ; in case anyone was wondering
ClassCastException clojure.lang.Var$Unbound cannot be cast to
clojure.lang.Var clojure.core/bound?/fn--4837 (core.clj:4954)
=> (defn test1 [input]
(cond (and (not (nil? input)))
(println "received nice input=`" input "`")
:else
(throw (RuntimeException. (str "bad input:" input)))))
#'cgws.notcore/test1
=> (test1 1)
received nice input=` 1 `
nil
=> (test1 nil)
RuntimeException bad input: cgws.notcore/test1 (NO_SOURCE_FILE:5)
=> (test1 a)
received nice input=` #<Unbound Unbound: #'cgws.notcore/a> `
nil
but I guess I should've put this in its proper thread aka here:
