All built-in Clojure collections are immutable and heterogeneous, have literal syntax, and support the conj
, count
, and seq
functions.
conj
returns a new collection that is equivalent to an existing collection with an item "added", in either "constant" or logarithmic time. What exactly this means depends on the collection.count
returns the number of items in a collection, in constant time.seq
returns nil
for an empty collection, or a sequence of items for a non-empty collection, in constant time.
