If-break in Clojure -

i trying figure out equivalent of java in clojure:

public int compute(int x) {     if (x < 0) return 0;          // continue computing     return result; }

is there idiomatic clojure "break" processing within function , return result?

no. there no short-circuit return statement (or break or goto ... ). return implicit.

a near equivalent in clojure example is

(defn test [x]     (if (< x 0)         0         (let [result (comment compute result)]             result)))

but return result without naming it:

(defn test [x]     (if (< x 0)         0         (comment compute result)))

these run, comment evaluates nil.

by way, if construct 2 expressions (rather full three) returns nil if test fails.

(if (< 3 0) 0) ; nil

so there return.
