Clojure Forms

Clojure code can have one of two structure:

• Literal representation of data structures
• Operations

Operations have the following structure:

(operator operand1 operand2 ... operandn)

Operands are separated by whitespace.

The operator is the function – it tells the program what to do. The operands tells the program what the operator is acting on.

Example: (+ 1 2 3)

The operator “+” tells the program to add the operands 1, 2, and 3. This will return a value of 6.
