Good, try this...
Than make N= 150, OOps....
E.
LOCAL N, nT
CLEAR
N= 100
nT= SYS(2)
? nFactorial( N )
? SYS(2) - nT
nT= SYS(2)
? nProcedure( N )
? SYS(2) - nT
*******
FUNCTION nFactorial( N )
LOCAL I
IF N > 1
I= N * nFactorial( N - 1 )
ELSE
RETURN 1
ENDIF
RETURN I
*******
FUNCTION nProcedure( N )
LOCAL I, J
J= 1
FOR i=1 TO N
j= j * I
NEXT
RETURN J

Only if the programmer is incompetent.

Because a) it works extremely well for processing tree-like data structures
and b) it creates simpler code, as each level is conceptually the same as the
