agent is an atomic Clojure topic inside State & Concurrency. The example below uses the actual construct named by the lesson rather than a generic placeholder.
Focus on what agent 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-06-05-agent.clj
clojure
Try It Live
(def log-count (agent 0))
@log-count
Edge case / engineering note
Observe when work actually runs, what state crosses the asynchronous boundary, and how completion or failure is surfaced.
