Here is a somewhat simplified example: Lets say you decide to model positions as {:x 12 :y 10} {:x 23 :y 34} ...And then you want to describe what is present at each of these positions
Then this can simply be done using a map { {:x 12 :y 10} "A house", {:x 23 :y 34} "Other house"} This may not sound useful but once you wrap you head around it, situations where this simplifies things pop up often enough. /PJC On Wednesday, August 7, 2013 6:28:00 PM UTC+2, Abraham wrote: > > this is in reference to the followng article > > > > > http://blog.safaribooksonline.com/2013/08/06/two-simple-clojure-tricks-with-values/ > > wherin it says any value ( function , vector , other data structure of > clj) can be used as key for a hashed map. > > can anybody enlighten how is it useful if function or any other data > struc. is used as key? > > Thnks > A > > -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
