free memoize, perhaps (Score:2)
What happens if you write name(5) and there is a name array that only has 4 elements but there is also a name function?
If it automatically switches to using the function if there is no element at the requested index then you get memoize for free!
fibonacci(n) {
if( n < 2 ) {
fibonacci(n) = 1
else {
fibonacci(n) = fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2)
}
return fibonacci(n)
}
