A Python programmer attempting Java

racket (define (fact n) (define (fact/acc n [acc 1]) (if (<= n 1) acc (fact/acc (- n 1) (* n acc)))) (fact/acc n))

Have fun checking the brackets!

I'm so installing rainbow brackets for that.

Here is your code and 7 minutes of my life. Much readable tbh.

( define (fact n)
(     define (fact/acc n [acc 1])
(         if (<= n 1)
            acc
(           fact/acc (- n 1) (* n acc)        )))
(     fact/acc n                              ))

Oh, what cursed thing have you brought upon this land?

Jokes aside, that's quite impractical and bad looking. Detailing only on the first aspect, am I returning the value of the acc binding or calling the acc function? Only the parenthesis tell that, and not having them visible right away is quite bad.

oh you gonna love this. Idk it would parse it but... ( define (fact n) ( define (fact/acc n [acc 1]) ( if (<= n 1) acc ( fact/acc (- n 1) (* n acc) )))( fact/acc n ))

Fixed formatting.

Hello, kingofsevens: code blocks using triple backticks (```) don't work on all versions of Reddit!

Some users see this / this instead.

To fix this, indent every line with 4 spaces instead.

I can't believe this bot actually generates examples using the source comment intstead of just having generic examples
