一個Python程式員的進化

不久前，在互連網上出現了一篇有趣的文章，講的是對於同一個問題，不同層次的Python程式員編出的Python代碼顯示出了不同的風格，代碼都很簡單，有趣。
編程新手

def factorial(x):  
if x == 0:  
return 1  
else:  
return x * factorial(x - 1)  
print factorial(6)

一年編程經驗(學Pascal的)

def factorial(x):          result = 1         i = 2         while i <= x:               result = result * i               i = i + 1          return result  print factorial(6)

一年編程經驗(學C的)

def fact(x): #{  
        result = i = 1;  
while (i <= x): #{  
            result *= i;  
            i += 1;  
#}  
        return result;  
#}  
print(fact(6)) 

一年編程經驗(讀過 SICP)

@tailcall  
def fact(x, acc=1):  
if (x > 1): return (fact((x - 1), (acc * x)))  
else:       return acc  
print(fact(6))

一年編程經驗(Python)

def Factorial(x):  
       res = 1 
for i in xrange(2, x + 1):  
            res *= i  
return res  
print Factorial(6) 

懶惰的Python程式員

def fact(x):  
return x > 1 and x * fact(x - 1) or 1  
print fact(6)

更懶的Python程式員

f = lambda x: x and x * f(x - 1) or 1  
print f(6) 

Python 專家

fact = lambda x: reduce(int.__mul__, xrange(2, x + 1), 1)  
print fact(6) 

Python 駭客

   import sys  
   @tailcall 
def fact(x, acc=1):  
if x: return fact(x.__sub__(1), acc.__mul__(x))  
return acc  
   sys.stdout.write(str(fact(6)) + '\n')

專家級程式員

from c_math import fact  
print fact(6) 

大英帝國程式員

   from c_maths import fact  
print fact(6)

Web 設計人員

def factorial(x):  
#-------------------------------------------------  
        #--- Code snippet from The Math Vault          ---  
        #--- Calculate factorial (C) Arthur Smith 1999 ---  
       #-------------------------------------------------  
       result = str(1)  
       i = 1 #Thanks Adam  
       while i <= x:  
#result = result * i  #It's faster to use *=  
          #result = str(result * result + i)  
          #result = int(result *= i) #??????  
          result = str(int(result) * i)  
#result = int(str(result) * i)  
          i = i + 1 
return result  
print factorial(6)

Unix 程式員

import os  
def fact(x):  
        os.system('factorial ' + str(x))  
fact(6)
