@MrAndyNgo I live in Chicago. I have a pile of parking tickets and four businesses shut down to one degree or another (between two people.) funds for food only. Kids gotta eat. Schools closed. Got booted too. For now I'll just follow you and do what I can to support your site!

In case you've never seen a SQL Server higher order function:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Factorial_recur3(@N BIGINT)

GO
#fp #function #functional #higherorderfunction
