一个Python程序员的进化（转载）

不久前，在互联网上出现了一篇有趣的文章，讲的是对于同一个问题，不同层次的Python程序员编出的Python代码显示出了不同的风格，代码都很简单，有趣。
编程新手

def factorial(x):  
        if x == 0:  
            return 1  
        else:  
            return x * factorial(x - 1)  
print factorial(6)

一年编程经验(学Pascal的)

def factorial(x):  
        result = 1 
        i = 2 
        while i <= x:  
             result = result * i  
             i = i + 1  
        return result  
print factorial(6)

一年编程经验(学C的)

def fact(x): #{  
        result = i = 1;  
        while (i <= x): #{  
            result *= i;  
            i += 1;  
        #}  
        return result;  
   #}  
print(fact(6)) 

一年编程经验(读过 SICP)

@tailcall  
def fact(x, acc=1):  
        if (x > 1): return (fact((x - 1), (acc * x)))  
        else:       return acc  
print(fact(6))

一年编程经验(Python)

def Factorial(x):  
       res = 1 
       for i in xrange(2, x + 1):  
            res *= i  
       return res  
print Factorial(6) 

懒惰的Python程序员

def fact(x):  
       return x > 1 and x * fact(x - 1) or 1  
print fact(6)

更懒的Python程序员

f = lambda x: x and x * f(x - 1) or 1  
print f(6) 

Python 专家

fact = lambda x: reduce(int.__mul__, xrange(2, x + 1), 1)  
print fact(6) 

Python 黑客

   import sys  
   @tailcall 
   def fact(x, acc=1):  
        if x: return fact(x.__sub__(1), acc.__mul__(x))  
        return acc  
   sys.stdout.write(str(fact(6)) + '\n')

       result = str(1)

       while i <= x:

          #result = int(result *= i) #??????  
          result = str(int(result) * i)  
          #result = int(str(result) * i)  
          i = i + 1 
      return result  
print factorial(6)

Unix 程序员

import os  
def fact(x):  
        os.system('factorial ' + str(x))  
fact(6) 

Windows 程序员
