Useful functions

count-points

(count-points tree)

Returns the number of points in tree, where each atom and each pair of parentheses counts as a point.

depth

(depth tree)

Returns the height of the nested list called tree. Borrowed idea from here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36865180/2023312 Works by looking at the path from each node in the tree to the root, and finding the longest one. Note: does not treat an empty list as having any height.

(ensure-list thing)

Returns a non-lazy list if passed a seq argument. Otherwise, returns a list containing the argument.

first-non-nil

(first-non-nil coll)

Returns the first non-nil values from the collection, or returns nil if the collection is empty or only contains nil.

indexof

(indexof element coll)

Returns the first index of an element in a collection. If the element is not present in the collection, returns -1.

not-lazy

(not-lazy lst)

Returns lst if it is not a seq, or a non-lazy version of lst if it is.
