In general, 'some' is used for linear searches. Given a vector 'v': (some #(and (= 99 (v %)) %) (range 0 (count v))) This is awkward because you're asking for the index and not the value itself. Index-based array manipulation is not often used in Clojure. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
