;; blucas's solution to Nth Element
;; https://4clojure.com/problem/21

(fn [col n]
  (if (zero? n)
   (first col)
   (recur (rest col) (- n 1))))

;; bit simpler way to go is convert list to a vector and look it up with get

(get (vec %1) %2)

what about #(first (drop %2 %1))

I ended up with

#(first (nthrest %1 %2))
