Learning Clojure

; Comments start with semicolons.

; Clojure is written in “form”, which are just

;lists of things inside parentheses, separated by white space.

; The clojure reader assumes that the firs tthing is a

; function or macro to call, and the rest are arguments.

;the first call in a file should be ns, to set the namespace

(ns learnclojure)

; More basic examples:

; str will create a string out of all its arguments

(str “Hello” “ “ “World”) ; => “Hello World”

(str “This” “ “ “is” “ “ “a” “ “ “String”) ; => “This is a String”

; Math is straightforward

(+ 1 1) ; => 2

(- 2 1) ; => 1

(* 1 2) ; => 2

(/ 2 1) ; => 2

; Equality is =

(= 1 1) ; => true

(= 2 1) ; => false

; you need not for logic, too

(not true) ; => false

; Nesting forms works as you expect

(+ 1 (- 3 2)) ; => 1 + (3–2)
