Getting Clojure: 'compute-area' does not compile (page 89)
The top of page 89 states:
and we also got the calculation wrong:
user=> (defn compute-area [diameter] #_=> (* PI radius (/ diameter 2.0))) #'user/compute-area
The code above does not compile:
Unable to resolve symbol: radius in this context
The intended code is probably something like:
(defn compute-area [diameter]
(let [radius (/ diameter 2.0)]
(* PI radius radius)))
