I tried this problem again.
So I did this:
(defn nth* [coll, number]
(let [acc 0]
(loop [coll coll acc]
(if == acc number))
(first coll)
(recur (next coll) (+acc 1 ))
but when I do :
(nth* (1,2,3,4,5)2)) I see a cannot cast error message.
Is this because Clojure cannot figure out what the coll and what the number
is ?
