March 9th 2008 Popeyes Redux
As a followup to “Popeyes”, here’s the same code implemented with Python:
#!/usr/bin/env python
def popeyes(n):
if n < 1:
return 0
elif n < 3:
return 1
else:
return 2 ** (n / 3 - 1)
if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
n = 0
try:
n = int(sys.argv[1])
except IndexError:
n = input("How many chicken fingers? ")
print "You will receive %g dipping sauces." % popeyes(n)
Nothing special, but it’s a cool comparison to Haskell’s code.
