The Clojure function cycle take a collections as argument and creates a lazy sequence by repeating the items in the collection. So if we pass a collection with the characters \a, \b and \c we get a lazy sequence of (\a \b \c \a \b \c ...).
(ns mrhaki.core.cycle
(:require [clojure.test :refer [is]]))
;; The items in the collection are repeated
;; and return type is a lazy sequence.
(is (= [0 1 0 1 0 1]
(take 6 (cycle [0 1]))))
(is (seq? (cycle [0 1])))
(is (= [\C \l \o \j \u \r \e \C \l \o \j \u \r \e]
(take 14 (cycle "Clojure"))))
;; Useful for functions that want equally sized
;; collection arguments.
(is (= {:a 0 :b 1 :c 0 :d 1}
(zipmap [:a :b :c :d] (cycle [0 1]))))
