There is also a non-idiomatic way - transform your code to use a native Java data structure like ArrayList or primitive array.
You may want it for the speed or if the mutable algorithm is more readable. Anyway isolation of the mutable code is always a good advice. (defn new-game [] (let [board (java.util.ArrayList. (repeat 9 nil))] (fn [n i] (cond (= n :x)(.set board i 'x) (= n :o)(.set board i 'o) (= n :print) (println board))))) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
