This: randomPoint #(apply new point (repeatedly 3 randomInt))
does not work, but is almost what you want. It doesn't work because new is a macro, and apply only works with functions as the first arg. Using the following two lines, first to define a function, then to use it with apply, seems like it ought to work. Not sure whether it is magic enough for you, though :-) newpt #(new point %1 %2 %3) randomPoint #(apply newpt (repeatedly 3 randomInt)) Andy On Mon, Sep 26, 2011 at 3:49 PM, Jeremy Heiler <jeremyhei...@gmail.com>wrote: > On Mon, Sep 26, 2011 at 5:33 PM, Dennis Haupt <d.haup...@googlemail.com> > wrote: > > now i'm here: > > (defrecord point [x y z]) > > (defn genPoints [n] > > (let [random (new Random) > > randomInt #(.nextInt random) > > randomPoint #(new point (randomInt) (randomInt) (randomInt))] > > (repeatedly n randomPoint))) > > > > is there a way to avoid writing (randomInt)(randomInt)(randomInt) and > > instead something like (magic (repeatedly 3 randomInt))? > > I'm not sure if this the best way, but it would work. > > (eval `(new point ~@(take 3 (repeatedly #(rand-int 10))))) > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Clojure" group. > To post to this group, send email to clojure@googlegroups.com > Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with > your first post. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > clojure+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/clojure?hl=en > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
