Project Euler in Clojure – Problem 13

Here is my solution to Problem 13 of Project Euler. As always, my progress you can tracked on GitHub at https://github.com/stevenproctor/project-euler-clojure.

Problem 13 of Project Euler is described as:

Work out the first ten digits of the sum of the following one-hundred 50-digit numbers.
[...]

And my solution for this, including previously defined functions created as part of solving the previous problems, is the following:


(defn digits-of [n]
  (map #(Integer/parseInt (str %)) (str n)))

(defn digits-of [n]
  (map #(Integer/parseInt (str %)) (str n)))
(defn problem13 []
  (let [numbers [37107287533902102798797998220837590246510135740250

    (bigint (reduce str "" (take 10 (digits-of (sum numbers)))))))

Problem 13 was pretty straight-forward, as the problem, I took the list of the one-hundred numbers as a vector, and then called the function sum which has been used in a number of previous problems as well as the digits-of function which was created in my solution to Problem 8. With these two functions, to get the first 10 digits of the sum was to just call take on the result of calling digits-of on the sum of the numbers in the vector numbers.

The rest of the function is to make the output to the REPL nice. I take the individual digits and turn them into a string using reduce str "", and then call the function bigint to cast it to an integer value.

**Update**
I have posted my solution to Problem 14.
