And also plain ol' arity overriding: (defn foo "Do something." ([x] (println x)) ([x y] (println (+ x y)))) For something similar to Java, where a particular method is selected purely on the type of the arguments, a multimethod like this will do the same: (defmulti foo (fn [& args] (vec (map type args)))) (defmethod foo [String Integer] [x y] (println "Got string and int")) (defmethod foo [String String] [x y] (println "Got two strings")) (foo "bar" "baz") (foo "bar" 5) -R --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
