The two functions below should return true if the first argument is divisible by any of the prime numbers (ascending) in the second argument, and false otherwise. But the second function is much slower. I haven't been able to figure out why. Can you?
Also, if there is a more idiomatic way, please share :) (defn divisable? [n coll] (let [count (count coll) mx (int (Math/sqrt n))] (loop [j 0] (cond (= j count) true (> (nth coll j) mx) true (factor? n (nth coll j)) false :else (recur (inc j)))))) (defn divisable-slow? [n coll] (let [limit (int (Math/sqrt n))] (not-any? #(factor? n %) (filter #(<= % limit) coll)))) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
