I've been trying to idiomatically loop through a nested vector like below:
[[:a 1 :b 1 :c 1] [:a 1 :b 1 :c 3] [:a 1 :b 1 :c 1]]
I also need to return the coordinates once I've found a value.
eg The call (find-key-value 3) should return [1 2]
This is what I have so far but its not giving me the output that I need it would return ([] [] [] [] [] [1 2] [] [] []) where as i only need [1 2]
(defn find-key-value
[array value]
(for [x (range 0 (count array))]
(loop [y 0
ret []]
(cond
(= y (count (nth array x))) [x y]
:else (if (= value (get-in array [x y]))
(recur (+ 1 y) (conj ret [x y]))
(recur (+ 1 y) ret))))))
Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix my code to get to my desired solution or have a better approach in mind!
A list comprehension can be used to find coordinates of all values satisfying a predicate:
(defn find-locs [pred coll]
(for [[i vals] (map-indexed vector coll)
[j val] (map-indexed vector vals)
:when (pred val)]
[i j]))
(find-locs #(= 3 %) [[:a 1 :b 1 :c 1] [:a 1 :b 1 :c 3] [:a 1 :b 1 :c 1]])
=> ([1 5])
(find-locs zero? [[0 1 1] [1 1 1] [1 0 1]])
=> ([0 0] [2 1])
The posed question seems to imply that the keywords in the inputs should be ignored, in which case the answer becomes:
(defn find-locs-ignore-keyword [pred coll]
(for [[i vals] (map-indexed vector coll)
[j val] (map-indexed vector (remove keyword? vals))
:when (pred val)]
[i j]))
(find-locs-ignore-keyword #(= 3 %) [[:a 1 :b 1 :c 1] [:a 1 :b 1 :c 3] [:a 1 :b 1 :c 1]])
=> ([1 2])
