  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  you copy-pasted that from wikipedia
  
  didn't you

  No, from a math site. It has the first 500 iterations. Which gets into some pretty big numbers.

  real men program it themselves

  
  

  seriously its like two lines

  
  

  like i just opened a browser console right now and wrote it, it's two fucking lines

  
  

  it hit 1.3069892237633987e+308 before the Number type overflowed and started logging Infinity.

  writing a good one is more lines

  Sup bitches, witches, Haters, and trolls.

  writing a good iterative one is like three or four lines depending on whether you're in python or not, writing a good recursive one (which only provides better performance if your language does fast multiplication on bigints) is probably like a dozen at most?

  It's nice in Javascript because lazy typing means you don't have to specifically handle the base case.

  Know your lines? Of course you know your lines! But I don't want to just hear your lines...I wanna hear what's in YOUR SOULS!!
