I think the confusion is because they used multiple values when comparing the equality
(= (__ (sort (rest (reverse [2 5 4 1 3 6])))) (-> [2 5 4 1 3 6] (reverse) (rest) (sort) (__)) 5) This can be seen as : (def A (__ (sort (rest (reverse [2 5 4 1 3 6]))))) (def B (-> [2 5 4 1 3 6] (reverse) (rest) (sort) (__))) Then the 4Clojure exercise can be written as: (= A B 5) Do not feel bad, this took me some time to realize 5 was not part of B.
