To compare the value of the atom, you should deref it first. Using deref, you’ll get the current value of the atom:
=> (deref a) 0 Or using the reader macro: => @a 0 So: => (= @a 0) true Hope that helps, Max > On Feb 12, 2015, at 11:27, Newbie <[email protected]> wrote: > > I am trying to compare atom values with numbers.
