Im busy learning clojure by doing some exercism.io challenges.
I have solved this one :
(defn annual-balance-update
"Returns the annual balance update, taking into account the interest rate."
[balance]
(+ balance (* (abs balance) (bigdec (/ (interest-rate balance) 100)))))
but I wonder if there is a way I can make it more clojure like.
Right now it one big ugly calculation.
It’s just arithmetic, so there’s not much you can do apart from extracting some bits under their own name inside a let block.
In general, some similar cases could also be improved by using ->, but I don’t see this one as a good example of such a case.
oke,
I was thinking of making a function that calculates which amount the balance is updated so I can maybe re-use it
So something like this :
(defn balance-update-amount
"Returns the amount which updates the balance
[balance]
(let interest-rate (bigdec (/ interest-rate balance) / 100)
amount (* (abs balance) interest rate)))
(defn annual-balance-update
"Returns the annual balance update, taking into account the interest rate."
[balance]
(+ balance amount)
but on some way I cannot close the balance-update-amount function
Guess you are looking something like this?
no, I see that I can delete the last /
But still I do not see why I cannot make the function closed with a (
Found it I think
is this good clojure code :
(defn balance-update-amount
"Returns the amount which updates the balance."
[balance]
(let [interest-rate (bigdec (/ (interest-rate balance) 100))]
(* (abs balance) interest-rate)))
(defn annual-balance-update
"Returns the annual balance update, taking into account the interest rate."
[balance]
(+ balance (balance-update-amount balance)))
Yeah. I would only change the indentation of the last line in the first function.
Thanks a lot then for all the help
