Just for fun, a version without loop, :
(def my-list '("abc" "x00b" "nanana" "zoot"))
(defn length-match [my-list target-length]
(first
(keep-indexed
(fn [idx len] (when (>= len target-length) idx))
(reductions + (map count my-list)))))
(length-match my-list 10)
; => 2
or the strictly equivalent threaded version:
(def my-list '("abc" "x00b" "nanana" "zoot"))
(defn length-match [my-list target-length]
(->> my-list
(map count)
(reductions +)
(keep-indexed (fn [idx len] (when (> len target-length) idx)))
first))
(length-match my-list 10)
2
