I'm trying to port some Python code to Clojure. I'm new to functional
programming and I hit a function that is causing my brain to melt.
The python function looks something like this:
def build_table():
num_cols = 3
selected_row = 0
selected_col = 0
strings = ["cat", "dog", "", "rabbit", "frog", "elephant",
"gorilla"]
row, col = 0, 0
table_contents = "<table cellpadding=30 bgcolor=#6666aa>\n<tr>\n"
for string in strings:
if string == "":
continue
if col >= num_cols:
row += 1
col = 0
table_contents += "</tr>\n<tr>"
def new_cell():
bg_color = "cfcfdf"
if(col == selected_col and row == selected_row):
bg_color = "d0e0ff"
return "<td bgcolor=#" + bg_color + ">" + \
"<font color=#0000cc>" + string[0] + \
"</font>" + string[1:] + "</td>\n"
table_contents += new_cell()
col += 1
table_contents += "</tr>\n</table>"
return table_contents
If someone could please demonstrate how to do this in Clojure, I think
it would greatly help my understanding of the language and functional
programming in general.
