The issue is (add1 (add1 [x])) is malformed: you probably mean (add1 (add1 x)).
An addn function could be implemented with iterate:
(defn addn [n x]
(nth (iterate add1 x) n))

Your inner (add1 [x]) is calling add1 with a vector containing x, you
want (add1 x):
(defn add2 [x]
(add1 (add1 x))

I have this function:
(defn add1 [x]
(+ 1 x))
which is just a very simple function that adds 1.
I now want to create a new function called add2 that uses add1 twice.
I have tried
(defn add2 [x]
(add1 (add1 [x]))
but this doesn't work. (Can someone explain why this doesn't work. I think
it
