My REPL shows: ... user> (= (bytes (.getBytes "a"))(bytes (.getBytes "a"))) false user> (= (seq (bytes (.getBytes "a"))) (seq (bytes (.getBytes "a")))) true ...
in other words, "equality" for java byte arrays is defined differently than their seq'ed version. It seems that the native arrays are compared on their reference while the seq'ed version on their value (as it should...). Sometimes the seq'ing seems implied, however, like in: ... user> (first (bytes (.getBytes "a"))) 97 ... but for the "=" function it is not. This doesn't feel right and is confusing to say the least. Could anyone shed some light on this behaviour? Thanks, Frank. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
