dictionary - Mapping a function on the values of a map in Clojure

Question

I want to transform one map of values to another map with the same keys but with a function applied to the values. I would think there was a function for doing this in the clojure api, but I have been unable to find it.

Here's an example implementation of what I'm looking for

(defn map-function-on-map-vals [m f]
  (reduce (fn [altered-map [k v]] (assoc altered-map k (f v))) {} m))
(println (map-function-on-map-vals {:a "test" :b "testing"} #(.toUpperCase %)))
{:b TESTING, :a TEST}

Does anybody know if map-function-on-map-vals already exists? I would think it did (probably with a nicer name too).

Answer 1

I like your reduce version just fine. I think it's idiomatic. Here's a version using list comprehension anyways.

(defn foo [m f]
  (into {} (for [[k v] m] [k (f v)])))
