user=> (contains? "abc" 1.5)
true
looks like for that, it's coerced to int
else if(key instanceof Number && (coll instanceof String ||
coll.getClass().isArray())) {
int n = ((Number) key).intValue();
return n >= 0 && n < count(coll);
}
=> (int 1.4)
1
=> (int 1.6)
1
=> (.intValue 1.4)
1
=> (.intValue 1.6)
