Clojure Tutorial on Clojure Vectors
Back to Course

a vector is a collection of values indexed by contiguous integers. a vector is created by using the vector method in clojure.

example

following is an example of creating a vector in clojure.

(ns clojure.examples.example
   (:require [clojure.set :as set])
   (:gen-class))
(defn example []
   (println (vector 1 2 3)))
(example)

output

the above code produces the following output.

[1 2 3]

following are the methods available in clojure.

this function returns the item in the nth position in the vector.
3 get

returns the element at the index position in the vector.
4 conj
