This issue describes how to implement the multi-arity 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 multi-arity functions are implemented in Clojure.

Learning objectives

After completing this exercise the student will:

  • Know how to define functions taking different numbers of parameters (arities)
  • How to invoke them
  • Creating a default value by having one arity call another

Out of scope

  • Variadic functions
  • Polymorphism

Concepts

  • functions
  • default-arguments
  • evaluation
  • multiple-dispatch
  • return-values

Prerequisites

  • basic-functions
  • repl
  • lists

Resources to refer to

Hints

After

Representer

This exercise does not require any modifications to the track's representer.

Analyzer

This exercise does not require any modifications to the analyzer.

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
