Hello Mike, Thanks for taking time to respond. I replied to another post but somehow it didn't show up. Perhaps it is awaiting moderation.
Anyway, perhaps I should explain the situation more clearly. In conventional imperative/procedural languages, as you pointed out, the algorithm used to calculate the factorial would be dependent on available compute resources. In order to select the appropriate algorithm one might select an arbitrary value (let's say 1000) and decide to use one algorithm or another. Or we might use a totally different function altogether. Is this also the case with Clojure? Being a newbie I have not fully understood how one would tackle such a problem. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
