What is the concat method in a Clojure sequence?

Overview

A sequence is a data storage structure that holds a collection of data objects. In Clojure, we consider it a logical list. We use the seq method to build a sequence.

The concat method

concat is a sequence method that merges two sequences together.

Syntax

(concat seq1 seq2)
Syntax of a concat sequence

Parameters

This method takes the following parameters:

  • seq1: This represents the first sequence of items.
  • seq2: This represents the second sequence of items to be merged with the first.

Return value

This method returns a sequence with seq1 and seq2 joined together.

Code

(ns clojure.examples.example
   (:gen-class))
(defn concatt []
   (def seq1 (seq [1 2]))
   (def seq2 (seq [3 4]))
   (println (concat seq1 seq2)))
(concatt)

Explanation

  • Line 3: We define the concatt function.
  • Line 4: We define the first sequence.
  • Line 5: We define the second sequence.
  • Line 6: We use the concat method to join both seq1 and seq2. We use println to output the joint sequence.
  • Line 7: We call the concatt function.
