Another unadvertised function that is useful to be aware of is clojure.lang.Numbers/reduce which will simplify a number to its most simple type. I often find that I want to use some BigInteger function, but then it is important to turn it back into a "typical Clojure number" at the end.
For example, (defn next-prime [n] (clojure.lang.Numbers/reduce (.nextProbablePrime (BigInteger. (str n))))) --Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
