Huh? That doesn't look like it's going to work at all. 1) 1 is primitive, we know that, accept it 2) we don't know the type of n, what will (* r n) be? 3) BOOM! My suggestion is to stop it with the contrived examples. Start showing some real code, real problems in your real programs. Using loop/recur is already the beginning of code smell for anything that is not performance sensitive. (defn fact ([n] (fact n 1)) ([n r] (if (zero? n) r (recur (dec n) (* r n))))) Sleep soundly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
