get even/odd indexed elements from a Collection(List of Maps) in Clojure

Question

I have a List of Map, I need to get the even/odd indexed elements from that list in Clojure. I don't want to iterate thought the list with for loop. Is there any small or single_word function?

Answer 1

user=> (take-nth 2 [0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9])
(0 2 4 6 8)
user=> (take-nth 2 (rest [0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]))
(1 3 5 7 9)
