Clojure: (apply map + '((1 2 ) (3 4) (5 6)))

Question

In Clojure,
[code="java"]
(apply map + '((1 2 ) (3 4) (5 6)))
[/code]

produce result: code="java" [/code]

Can anyone help me to understand how does it work?
Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

I belive the expression
[code="clojure"](apply map + '((1 2 ) (3 4) (5 6)))[/code]
evaluates to:
code="clojure"[/code]
instead of (6 9), which is the same with Scheme. What version of Clojure are you using?

The expression is pretty much equivalent to the following:
code="clojure" '(5 6))[/code]
Take a look at [url=http://www.scheme.com/tspl3/control.html#./control:h4]this page[/url], look for the part that explains "map".
