How about (defn explode-to-digits [n] (if (= n 0) [] (let [d (rem n 10) r (quot n 10)] (conj (explode-to-digits r) d)))) or if you want to avoid consuming stack (defn explode-to-digits* [n out] (if (= n 0) out (let [d (rem n 10) r (quot n 10)] (recur r (cons d out))))) (defn explode-to-digits [n] (explode-to-digits* n nil)) It should also be possible to make a lazy sequence version, but returning the digits in the reverse order. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
