Although my python age is not very high, I would like to share with you the interesting python programs I met or wrote. Here is a comparative article I found about the programming styles of various python programmers. It is interesting to take factorial as an example.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

import operator as op
import functional as f
fact = lambda x: f.foldl(op.mul, 1, xrange(2, x + 1))
print fact(6)

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')

import c_math
fact = c_math.fact
print fact(6)

fact = c_maths.fact
print fact(6)

    result = str(1)
    i = 1 #Thanks Adam
    while i <= x:
        #result = result * i #It's faster to use *=
        #result = str(result * result + i)
           #result = int(result *= i) #??????

        #result = int(str(result) * i)

    return result
print factorial(6)
