Hi guys, I am stuck and I am hoping someone can help me with this as I have been stuck. I am working in the REPL and when I call the re-split function
user=> (re-split #"\W+" "This is simple sentence") I get the results properly. However, if I try to wrap the same call within a function passing the sentence in as a variable: (use '[clojure.contrib.str-utils :only (re-split)]) (defn split-by-whitespace [sentence]( (re-split #"\W+" sentence) )) (def x "This is a test") (split-by-whitespace x) I get the following exception: java.lang.ClassCastException: clojure.lang.ArraySeq cannot be cast to clojure.lang.IFn (countwords.clj:0) Can someone provide me a clue as to what is going on here? This seems like such a basic function that I must be missing something simple. BTW: I am using the clojure distribution that is part of the code examples from Stu Halloway's book.
