Generally when you are calling functions that have (and depend on) side-effects, you will end up using "do" a lot. Also, I noticed that in your example there's really no reason to make the x and y bindings part of the loop.
I haven't tried this code but I think it's along the lines of what you want: (loop [] (do (a-function) (let [y (another-function)] (... code that uses y ...)) (recur))) On Monday, February 11, 2013 11:25:23 PM UTC-8, George Oliver wrote: > > hi, > > I have a loop that looks like this, > > (loop > [x (a-function) > y (another-function)] ; another-function must be called after a-function > (....) ; x is not used in body > (recur (a-function) (another-function))) > > This gets the job done (my a-function is a select() call which I don't use > the return value of in the body), but it feels a little hacky so I'm > wondering what's a better way? > > -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
