HI,

I just posted a question to stackoverflows code review 
page:http://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/90809/remove-lines-from-a-2d-vec-in-clojure

As there is not much traffic regarding clojure I also double post to this 
list in the hope to get some good answers. You might respond here or there, 
whatever you like best.

I have some code here that I am very unhappy with. The task I am trying to 
accomplish is this.

Given a 2d vec like this:

    [[0 2 0] [1 3 5] [3 3 0]]
which can contain positive ints including zero I want to remove all _lines_ 
that are greater zero.  
Whereas the definition of _line_ is the following:  
A _line_ is represented by the position n in every vec inside the 2d vec. 
So my example above has three lines: 

    [0 1 3], [2 3 3] and [0 5 0].

The line that I want to remove from it according to my algortihm is **[2 3 
3]** because every element is greater than zero.

So my 2d vec would now look like this:

    [[0 0] [1 5] [3 0]]

And finally I want to pad the vecs to their original size filling them with 
zero for every removed line, so that it looks finally like this:

    [[0 0 0] [0 1 5] [0 3 0]]

This is what I came up with:

    (defn in?
      "true if seq contains elm"
      [seq elm]
      (some #(= elm %) seq))
    
    (defn not-in?
      "true if seq does not contain elm"
      [seq elm]
      (not (in? seq elm)))
    
    (defn all-greater-zero-at
      "Given a 2-d vec [[0 1] [0 2]] return true if all elements at 'at' are
      greater than zero"
      [v at]
      (not-in? (map #(if (> (nth % at) 0) true false) v) false))
    
    (defn to-be-removed
      "Returns a seq of positions to be removed (0 3 4)"
      [v width]
      (reduce (fn [a b] (if (all-greater-zero-at v b) (conj a b) a)) [] 
(range width)))
    
    (defn remove-at
      "Removes an element from a 1d vec"
      [v at]
      (into [] (concat (subvec v 0 at) (subvec v (+ at 1) (count v)))))
    
    (defn insert-at
      "inserts an element into a 1d vec"
      [v elm at]
      (into [] (concat (subvec v 0 at) elm (subvec v at (count v)))))
    
    (defn remove-and-replace-all-at
      [v at]
      (map #(insert-at (remove-at % at) [0] at) v))
    
    (defn replace-full-by-zero [v width]
      (reduce (fn [a b] (remove-and-replace-all-at a b)) v (to-be-removed v 
width)))
    
    (defn remove-zeros [v at]
      (reduce (fn [a b] (conj a (remove-at b at))) [] v))
    
    (defn fill-with-zeros
      "Takes a 2d vec and pads ith with zeros up to width"
      [v width]
      (map #(into [] (concat (take (- width (count (first v))) (repeat 0)) 
%)) v))
    
    (defn clean-grid
      "removes all full lines"
      [fbz tbr]
      (loop [acc fbz tbr tbr i 0]
        (if (empty? tbr)
          acc
          (recur (remove-zeros acc (- (first tbr) i)) (rest tbr) (inc i)))))
    
    (defn remove-full-lines [v width]
      (let [fbz (replace-full-by-zero v width)
            tbr (to-be-removed v width)
            cleaned-grid (clean-grid fbz tbr)]
        (into [] (fill-with-zeros cleaned-grid width))))

This seems like a lot of code for such a "simple" algorithm and I assume 
there are a lot of better ways to do that, but just did not come up with a 
better one, so, please, go ahead and fix it, if you want to :-)

Best Regards,
Sven
