Another option would be to use recursion, that is the one I use now, then you 
don’t need an array and to me it greatly simplifies the code.

When you come down to it, there are many different approaches, probably as many 
approaches as programers have tried it, even the crappy one I wrote in high 
school, that was not at all elegant, worked.

I personally like the recursion algorithm but there are many programmers that 
are not comfortable with it. Computers are really, really fast, so unless you 
are executing this literally millions of times any algorithm that works, works
