I believe what he wants is a persistentlist. You could get one from (apply
list) or more succinctly/esoterically (list* ..)
Sort returns a seq view over the array returned by java.util.Array.sort()
(defn sort
"Returns a sorted sequence of the items in coll. If no comparator is
supplied, uses compare. comparator must
implement java.util.Comparator."
{:added "1.0"
:static true}
([coll]
(sort compare coll))
([^java.util.Comparator comp coll]
(if (seq coll)
(let [a (to-array coll)]
(. java.util.Arrays (sort a comp))
(seq a))
())))
(class (sort (range 10)))
