That's very similar to "tails" in Haskell: http://www.zvon.org/other/haskell/Outputlist/tails_f.html > user> (take 10 (map #(take 5 %) (f (iterate inc 1)))) > ((1 2 3 4 5) (2 3 4 5 6) (3 4 5 6 7) (4 5 6 7 8) (5 6 7 8 9) (6 7 8 9 10) (7 > 8 9 10 11) (8 9 10 11 12) (9 10 11 12 13) (10 11 12 13 14)) For this particular example, you could use 'partition': (take 10 (partition 5 1 (iterate inc 1))) > Does this fn already exist in clojure?

I don't think it exists in clojure.core or clojure.contrib. --Chouser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
