In clojure, how can I select and return a subset of a collection












0















If I have a collection like this



{{:A "a" :B "b"} {:A "a" :B "Goal" } {:A "a" :B "Goal"}}


how do I make a function so it returns only the parts where :B "Goal"? Meaning only:



{{:A "a" :B "Goal" } {:A "a" :B "Goal"}}

  • curly brackets are maps in Clojure and require an even number of members (key and value pairs) they can be of any type : keyword, string, number.. your collection above will be better represented as a vector [,,,] or a list'(,,,)

I fixed your data to make it a vector of 3 maps.



(def data [{:A "a" :B "b"}
{:A "a" :B "Goal"}
{:A "a" :B "Goal"}])

(defn b-goal?
[item]
(= (:B item) "Goal") )

(filter b-goal? data) => ({:A "a", :B "Goal"} {:A "a", :B "Goal"})
