Wow. Sorry for the awful formatting. Re-pasting it from Google Groups (instead of email) to fix it:
(def a [[:a 1] [:b 2] [:a 3]]) (defn add-maybe [& nums] (->> nums (remove nil?) (reduce +))) (reduce (fn [m [k v]] (update-in m [k] add-maybe v)) {} a) ;; => {:b 2, :a 4} -Steven On Saturday, August 17, 2013 3:40:23 AM UTC-5, Steven Degutis wrote: > > At first I came up with the same solution as your second one.
