In Clojure, how do I make a nested map return a map with an inner map all set to 0?












0














So basically how do I make a function given the input {:A 1 :B 2 :C {:X 5 :Y 5 :Z 5} :D 1} and the key :C
return {:A 1 :B 2 :C {:X 0 :Y 0 :Z 0} :D 1}? It's the same mapping but with the nested map all set to 0. Given that we know that the key :C has the nested values.



I'm very new to clojure and I'm struggling with loops and iterations so any help would be appreciated.



Thanks.

  • Also "nested" as in the example (first level) or all nesting (so basically all, but the first level)?

  • @cfrick I mean given that we know that :C is the key with the "nesting" we should only set its values to 0
