### Anonymous functions, PAFs and map in clojure


;; Two ways to write a partially applied functions in clojure (PAF)((fn [x] (str "Hi, " x)) "there.")
((partial str "Hi, ") "there.")
;; Define these PAFs(def addhi1 (fn [x] (str "Hi, " x)))
(def addhi2 (partial str "Hi, "))
;; Map these two PAFs to a list, results are the same(map addhi1 ["Newon", "Einstein"])
;; Passing multiple args to a vector(defn addhi-map1 [& xs] (map addhi1 xs))
(addhi-map2 "Newton" "Einstein")
-- Sieve of Eratosthenes implementaion in haskellsieve :: [Integer] -> [Integer]-- If it starts with zero, simply filter outsieve (0:xs) = sieve xs-- If it's not marked as 0, return it, and sieve the rest.-- The rest is the result of marking multiple of n-- The marking process is nested, for example:-- 3 : sieve (mark (mark [4..] 2 2) 3)sieve (n:xs) = n : sieve (mark xs 1 n) where  mark :: [Integer] -> Integer -> Integer -> [Integer]  -- This is just counting, staring from 1, 2, 3..., once it reaches n, it's rest to 1.  -- For every n numbers, there is one marked with 0, to be sieved out.  mark (y:ys) k m     | k == m = 0 : (mark ys 1 m)    | otherwise = y : (mark ys (k+1) m)primes :: [Integer]primes = sieve [2..]
