(doall coll)
(doall n coll)
Forces evaluation of a lazy sequence. Often used to see the effects of a sequence produced via functions that have side effects.
doall
walks through the successive next
s of the sequence, returning the head
and causing the entire sequence to reside in memory at one time.
When lazy sequences are produced via functions that have side effects, any effects other than those needed to produce the first element in the seq do not occur until the seq is consumed. doall can be used to force any effects. Walks through the successive nexts of the seq, retains the head and returns it, thus causing the entire seq to reside in memory at one time.
