For the win

 

Clojure's for macro is a tremendously versatile mechanism for producing a sequence based on some other sequence(s). It can take some time to understand how to use it properly, but that investment will be paid back with clear, concise sequence-wrangling later. With that in mind, read over these for expressions and try to see how each of them produces the same result.

	(= __ (for [x (range 40) :when (= 1 (rem x 4))] x))
	(= __ (for [x (iterate #(+ 4 %) 0) :let [z (inc x)] :while (< z 40)] z))
	(= __ (for [[x y] (partition 2 (range 20))] (+ x y)))
