Sven, To me, the keep version would be a lot more readable if it were creating a literal map in a fn.
I think (for) is almost always the right thing. It's not as fun to write, but much easier to read: (for [i (range 1 11) :let [id (keyword (str "answer_correct_" i))] :when (params id)] {:question_id q-id :user_id user-id :answer_id (params id)}) It's possible to shrink the reduce, but I prefer the above. (reduce (fn [acc i] (let [id-correct (->> i (str "answer_correct_) keyword params)] (cond-> acc id-correct (conj {:question_id q-id :user_id user-id :answer_id id-correct})))) [] (range 1 11)) Take care, Moe On Tue, Aug 25, 2015 at 9:42 AM, Sven Richter <sver...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I find myself repeating a certain pattern from time to time. > > I have a map like this: > {:answer_correct_1 2 :answer_correct_3 4 :foo "bar"} > > There is a hidden index answer_correct_idx which might range from 1 to x. > So, what I want is to "iterate" over the map and produce a vec of maps > given some other fields like this: > [{:id 123 :answer_correct_1 2} {:id 123 :answer_correct_3 4} ...] > > The pattern that I use then is reduce like this: > (reduce > (fn [a b] > (let [id-correct (keyword (str "answer_correct_" b))] > (if (id-correct params) > (conj a {:question_id q-id :user_id user-id :answer_id (id-correct > params)}) > a))) > [] (range 1 11)) > > If have an if condition inside the reduce and then either conj or return > the unchanged vec. This works.
