Maps is an atomic Clojure topic inside Core Data & Reader Forms. The example below uses the actual construct named by the lesson rather than a generic placeholder.
Focus on what Maps changes: the input, binding, control path, object state, collection, runtime effect, or language contract. Then alter one value and verify that the behavior changes for a reason specific to this feature.
Topic-specific example
clojure-01-06-maps.clj
clojure
Try It Live
(get {:sku "A-17" :qty 4} :qty)
Edge case / engineering note
Check the input collection shape, whether the operation mutates or returns a new value, and what happens for an empty collection.
