name 'calculate factorial vs looking on a Hash'
author 'Claudio Bustos'
date '2011-01-31'
summary "
Is better create a lookup table for factorial or just calculate it?
Distribution::MathExtension::SwingFactorial has a lookup table 
for factorials n<20
"

reps 1000 #number of repetitions

measure "Lookup" do
	Math.factorial(19)
end

measure "calculate" do
	Distribution::MathExtension::SwingFactorial.naive_factorial(19)
end
