How to return the output of a recursive function in Clojure
- by Silanglaya Valerio
Hi everyone! I'm new to functional languages and clojure, so please bear with me...
I'm trying to construct a list of functions, with either random parameters or constants. The function that constructs the list of functions is already working, though it doesn't return the function itself. I verified this using println.
Here is the snippet:
(def operations (list #(- %1 %2) #(+ %1 %2) #(* %1 %2) #(/ %1 %2)))
(def parameters (list \u \v \w \x \y \z))
(def parameterlistcount 6)
(def paramcount 2)
(def opcount 4)
(defn generateFunction
"Generates a random function list"
([] (generateFunction 2 4 0.5 0.6 '()))
([pc maxdepth fp pp function]
(if (and (> maxdepth 0) (< (rand) fp))
(dotimes [i 2]
(println(conj (generateFunction pc (dec maxdepth) fp pp function)
{:op (nth operations (rand-int opcount))})))
(if (and (< (rand) pp) (> pc 0))
(do (dec pc)
(conj function {:param (nth parameters (rand-int parameterlistcount))}))
(conj function {:const (rand-int 100)})))))
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
