Clojure - Sequences


Advertisements

Sequences are created with the help of the ‘seq’ command. Following is a simple example of a sequence creation.

(ns clojure.examples.example
   (:gen-class))

;; This program displays Hello World
(defn Example []
   (println (seq [1 2 3])))
(Example)

The above program produces the following output.

(1 2 3)
