I understood now, it was going in the else condition of the if so here'so the modified code (defn pyramid [j i] (if (= i 0) (println "There's your pyramid")) (if (= j 0) (do (println) (pyramid (- i 1) (- i 1)))) (if (not (neg? j)) (do (print "* ") (pyramid (- j 1) i)))) But my question still stands if ther's a way to return from function. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
