Description

@bobbicodes

This issue describes how to implement the Higher-order functions concept exercise for the Clojure track.

Getting started

Please please please read the docs before starting. Posting PRs without reading these docs will be a lot more frustrating for you during the review cycle, and exhaust Exercism's maintainers' time. So, before diving into the implementation, please read up on the following documents:

Please also watch the following video:

Goal

The goal of this exercise is to teach the student how to use higher-order functions in Clojure.

It can be a simple port of elyses-transformative-enchantments from the JavaScript Track.

Learning objectives

The student will gain a general understanding of:

  • First Class Functions
  • Functions that take one or more functions as arguments
  • Functions that return a function as its result

Out of scope

  • This is a general overview of the concept, not in-depth usage of specific functions.

Concepts

  • higher-order-functions

Prerequisites

  • basics

Clojure guide - Higher Order Functions

Representer

The Clojure Representer is currently being implemented and contributions are welcome.

Analyzer

The Clojure Analyzer is currently being implemented and contributions are welcome.

Implementing

To implement a concept exercise, the following files must be created:

languages
└── clojure
    └── exercises
        └── concept
            └── <SLUG>
                ├── .docs
                |   ├── instructions.md
                |   ├── introduction.md
                |   ├── hints.md
                |   └── after.md (optional)
                ├── .meta
                |   |── design.md
                |   └── Example.clj
                ├── <NAME>.clj
                └── <NAME>_test.clj
