Equality of vectors in clojure

I was trying to solve this problem

and I realized that this statement gave output as false.

(= (#(into [] (distinct %)) [1 2 3]) 
   '(1 1 2 2 3 3))

It is supposed to be true as the function is also returning the same vector.

Can someone please explain to me why this is false?

The question you ask is irrelevant to the problem you refer to, which your own answer solves. Looking at the question alone ...

  • As rascio comments, you are applying distinct to the wrong sequence.
  • Furthermore, you can apply = to any two sequences. You don't have to convert the lazy sequence that distinct produces to a vector.

Thus the following suffices ...

(= [1 2 3] (distinct '(1 1 2 2 3 3)))
=> true

From the comments, I found out that I was using the distinct method incorrectly and hence decided to use the repeat method to get the answer which was:

mapcat #(repeat 2 %)
