-module(mathStuff).
-export([factorial/1, area/1]).

factorial(0) -> 1;
factorial(N) -> N * factorial(N-1).

    area({square, Side}) ->
      Side * Side;
    area({circle, Radius}) ->
      3 * Radius * Radius;
    area({triangle, A, B, C}) ->
      S = (A + B + C)/2,
      math:sqrt(S*(S-A)*(S-B)*(S-C));
    area(Other) ->
      {invalid_object, Other}.

At least bitches aren't as ugly as your syntax.

Would this by any chance be one of those inferior, Θ(n) in memory usage versions of factorial?

wow, if erlang makes you want to approximate PI to 3, then it truely is a great language... wait, no, i mean stupid

if you wanted a cheap way to approximate pi, 355/113 provides a pretty good solution.

PI = 24/7
No exceptions

If you wanted a cheap way to approximate π, a hardcoded constant double provides a pretty good solution.

What if you need an integer approximation?

What the hell is an integer approximation? Here's an integer for you: ³

An approximation which is an integer. You need to upgrade your English compiler or something.

Have you read SICP?

Is that even relevant to the discussion, or is it just your way of asking whether I have read SICP?

A nice approximation of pi is:
3.14159265358979324

It's what I use since I memorized it.

Your seventh decimal place is incorrect. FAIL.

Then use pi(n)/10ⁿ, where n is the number of decimal digits of π that you want to use, and the function pi returns 10ⁿπ rounded to the nearest integer.

e.g. if you need π to 3 decimal places, use 3141/10000, and evaluate in such a way that the division by 10000 is calculated last.

The only thing wrong with >>14 is that the next decimal is 6, so his number rounded incorrectly.
