@@ -8,544 +8,312 @@ If you are not already doing the challenge - it is a good place to practise your
 **perl** or **raku**. If it is not **perl** or **raku** you develop in - you can
 submit solutions in whichever language you feel comfortable with.
 
-# Challenge 1 - Canonical Path
-
-**You are given a string path, starting with a slash ‘/'. Write a script to
-convert the given absolute path to the simplified canonical path.**
-
-In a Unix-style file system:
-
- * A period '.' refers to the current directory
- * A double period '..' refers to the directory up a level
- * Multiple consecutive slashes ('//') are treated as a single slash '/'
-
-The canonical path format:
-
- * The path starts with a single slash '/'.
- * Any two directories are separated by a single slash '/'.
- * The path does not end with a trailing '/'.
- * The path only contains the directories on the path from the root directory to the target file or directory
-
-## Note....
-
-Please note there is an ambiguity in the question - when then path contains no
-files - as it cannot start with a '/' and not end with a '/' - so we have
-to make a choice do we return '/' or do we return ''.
-
-In our case we decide to return it as the empty string.
-This has the advantage that there is a level of consistency if you do...
+You can find the solutions here on github at:
 
-$parent_dir.canonical_path('/a');
+https://github.com/drbaggy/perlweeklychallenge-club/tree/master/challenge-113/james-smith/perl
 
-or
-
-$parent_dir.canonical_path('/');
+# Challenge 1 - Canonical Path
 
-then it will always end without a "/";
+**TASK #1: Represent Integer
 
-To change the value the functions return you can replace the return
-statement with either `return q(/). join q(/), @list` or
-`return $str || q(/)`, depending on whether or not the function
-stores the path elements in an array or a string.
+You are given a positive integer `$N` and a digit `$D`. Write a script to
+check if $N can be represented as a sum of positive integers having `$D` at
+least once. If check passes print `1` otherwise `0`.**
 
-## Solution to challenge 1
+**Assumption** although not clear in the question, we make the
+assumption that the numbers in the sum are all unique.
 
-Again another interesting challenge ... we can see if we can improve
-performance.
+## Solution...
 
-Initially it looks quite complex - there are two solutions classes:
+There are two classes of solution to this problem:
 
- * splitting the string and creating/modifying an array of the
-   individual parts
+ 1. Solutions where `$D` only appears in the right hand column.
+ 1. Solutions where `$D` appears in more than one column.
 
- * splitting the string and creating/modifying a string
+### Type 2 solutions...
+If `$D` is 0. Then we can find solutions for all numbers `>=100`. For
+the numbers `100` -> `109` the number itself surfices. For numbers
+`>=110` we can always find a solution of the form (or similar):
 
-## "Expanded perl code"
+```
+   x x x x 0 x
++          x 0
+```
 
-### Array - two loops...
+If `$D` in not 0. Then we can find similar solutions for all numbers
+`>= 10*$D`. Again for `10*$D` -> `10*$D + 9` the number itself surfices.
+For numbers `>=11*$D` we have similar solutions to above where we can
+write the nubmer as:
 
- * We first split the directory into path parts and remove any that
-   are empty or "`.`".
+```
+   x x x x D x
++          x D
+```
 
- * We loop through the array until we find a '`..`' if we do we
-   remove it and the previous entry.
+So we check for that first, then we can look at the type (1) solutions
 
- * We then repeat this until we don't find a '`..`'
+### Type 1 solutions...
 
- * To jump out of the loop we use `next "label"` to not just skip out
-   of the inner loop, but to also to restart the parent loop at the
-   same time.
+We need a sequence of numbers `$D`, `10+$D`, `20+$D`, `30+$D` *etc*
+that is less than or equal to `$N` and has the same last digit as `$N`.
+Now we note `$D + 10+$D + 20+$D + 30+$D + 40+$D` is `100 + 5$D` and so
+we know this is possible to represent for all values of `$D` so we
+can ignore this case.
 
- * Finally remove an initial "`..`" which wouldn't get removed by this
-   algorithm.
+## Perl code
 
- * and join the array together with '`/`' - we add the `''` so that we
-   get the leading '`/`'.
+The first pass at this uses a for loop to generate the values of the
+numbers in the sum. After first checking the criteria for type 2
+solutions...
 
 ```perl
-sub canonical_path_double {
-  my $directory_path = shift;
-  my @directory_names   = grep { $_ ne '' &&
-                                 $_ ne '.' }
-                          split m{/},
-                          $directory_path;
-
-  OUTER: while(1) {
-    foreach (1..$#directory_names) {
-      next unless $directory_names[$_] eq '..';
-      splice @directory_names,$_-1,2;
-      next OUTER;
-    }
-    last;
-  }
-  shift @directory_names if @directory_names && $directory_names[0] eq '..';
-  return join '/','',@directory_names;
+sub represent {
+  my( $t, $n, $d ) = ( 0, @_ );
+  return 1 if $n >= 10 * ( $d || 10 );
+  $n >= ( $t += $_ * 10 + $d ) &&
+    ( $n % 10 == $t % 10 ) && return 1 for 0..3;
+  0;
 }
 ```
 
-### Array - 1-loop
-
-We don't need to use a double loop - we can just treat
-the resultant array as a queue either pulling "`..`" or
-pushing (not "` `" or "`.`") onto the queue.
+We can further improve performance by removing the need for the `$t`
+variable and the `for` loop by "unrolling" the loop as below...
 
 ```perl
-sub canonical_path_array {
-  my $directory_path = shift;
-  my @parts          = split m{/}, $directory_path;
-  my @directory_names;
-  foreach my $part ( @parts ) {
-    next if $part eq '';
-    next if $part eq '.';
-    if($part eq '..' ) {
-      pop @directory_names;
-    } else {
-      push @directory_names, $part;
-    }
-  }
-  return join '/','',@directory_names;
+sub represent_unrolled {
+  my( $n, $d ) = @_;
+  $n >= 10 * ( $d || 10 )                      ||
+  $n >= $d                && $n%10 == $d       ||
+  $n >= 2*$d+10           && !( ($n-2*$d)%10 ) ||
+  $n >= 3*$d+30           && !( ($n-3*$d)%10 ) ||
+  $n >= 4*$d+60           && !( ($n-4*$d)%10 ) ? 1 : 0;
 }
 ```
 
-### String - 1-loop
+This appears to be 50% faster than the loop solution...
 
-Rather than store the parts in a list - we use a string to store
-this canonical path - and we either add directories to the end of
-it or remove them if we come across a "`..`", in a similar way to
-the `push`/`pop` that we used above.
+# Challenge 2 - Recreate Binary Tree
 
-  * We achieve the former - by just concatenating a "`/`" and the
-    name to the end of the string.
+**You are given a Binary Tree. Write a script to replace each
+node of the tree with the sum of all the remaining nodes.**
 
-  * The latter we strip this string off with a regex substitution:
-    `s{/[^/]+\Z}{}`. This works in all cases wherever the "`..`"
-    is in the list.
+We already have an embryonic `Tree` object from the Linked list/tree
+challenge in week 94.
 
-  * Note as we are looping through the array we can ignore the
-    grep and just skip out of the loop if the name is either ""
-    or "`.`".
+So we will extend this (and to write a true `BinaryTree`) representation.
 
-```perl
-sub canonical_path_string {
-  my $path = shift;
-  my @directories    = split m{/}, $path;
-  my $canonical_path = '';
-  foreach my $directory_name ( @directories ) {
-    next if $directory_name eq '';
-    next if $directory_name eq '.';
-    if( $directory_name eq q(..) ) {
-      $canonical_path =~ s{/[^/]+\Z}{};
-    } else {
-      $canonical_path .= q(/) . $directory_name;
-    }
-  }
-  return $canonical_path;
-}  
-```
-### String fast - 1-loop
+## Walk the tree
 
-Regexs are not the fastest way to perform simple matches strings
-(and intern to modify them). We can speed up the trimming of the
-canonical path by replacing the regex solution by using `rindex`
-and the four-parameter version of `substr`.
+For each of the problems cloning, summing, updating a tree we need to
+walk the tree. The solution I propose here will define a "walking"
+function on the tree, which has it's parameters:
 
-  * `rindex $str, $needle` finds the index of `$needle` in `$str`.
-    Here we use it to find the last `/` in string.
+  * a function to handle each node
+  * a "global" storage object
+  * a "local" storage object
+  * whether the node is a left child / right child.
 
-  * `substr $str, $offset, $length, $substitute` finds the chunk of
-    the string `$str` from `$offset` of given length `$length`. If a
-    fourth parameter is set then this region of the string is replaced
-    by `$substitute`.
+## Perl `BinaryTree` object.
 
-  * We can use this to truncate the string by doing:
-  
-    `substr $path, rindex( $path, '/' ), ~0, '';`
+Our binary tree is represented by an array of length 3. The value of
+the node {which can be any object} and the left and right children.
 
-    In the two-parameter version of `substr` if we omit length then
-    this returns to the end of the string. In the four-parameter
-    version - we can't omit this - so have to use an alternative
-    value - it has to be bigger than the longest string possible.
-    We use the "bitwise-negation" operator "`~`" to generate the
-    largest value possible. This is: 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 or
-    just shy of 16 Exabytes - I believe this should be big enough!
+We then have two methods - `add_left_child` and `add_right_child` to
+add them to the tree.
 
-    (Note you can use -ve numbers but there is no way of doing `-0`
-    to trim to the end of the line)
+We also have accessors:
 
-The script then becomes:
+ * `left` - left child
+ * `right` - right child
+ * `value` - value of node
 
-```perl
-sub canonical_path_string_fast {
-  my $path = shift;
-  my @directories    = split m{/}, $path;
-  my $canonical_path = '';
-  foreach my $directory_name ( @directories ) {
-    next if $directory_name eq '';
-    next if $directory_name eq '.';
-    if( $directory_name eq q(..) ) {
-      substr $canonical_path,
-             rindex( $canonical_path, '/' ),
-             ~0, '';
-    } else {
-      $canonical_path .= q(/) . $directory_name;
-    }
-  }
-  return $canonical_path;
-}  
-```
+We have to functions to check for existance of a child:
 
-## "Compact perl code" AKA 1-liners..
+ * `has_left` - left child
+ * `has_right` - right child
 
-Now we can look at how we can compact this code. Here though we
-need to consider the trade off between size and performance - the
-smallest code is not necessarily the fastest - as some of the
-tricks to make the code compact also make it slower.
+and finally a method to update a node `update`
 
-### The array code...
+```perl
+package BinaryTree;
 
-We have two versions of the code - which are slightly different
-The `canonical_path_compact_opt` function is probably closer to
-the 1-loop array function above. We use nested-ternaries to replace
-the `if else` blocks.
+sub new {
+  my $class = shift;
+  my $value = shift;
+  my $self = [ $value, undef, undef ];
+  bless $self, $class;
+}
 
-As well as using ternaries to make the code shorter - we use a few
-other of our "shortening" tricks:
+sub update {
+  my( $self, $val ) = @_;
+  $self->[0] = $val;
+  return $self;
+}
 
- * We use **yoda** comparisons ( `"value" eq $variable` ) rather tha
-   the more normal `$variable eq "value"` as it means we can save a
-   byte { `$var eq''` vs `''eq$var` } as we don't need the extra space.
+sub value {
+  my $self = shift;
+  return $self->[0];
+}
 
- * We re-order the if/else so that the we unravel it into an:
-   `if() { } elsif() {} else {}` format which is better for
-   nested ternaries - even if it may seenm to be less readable.
+sub add_child_left {
+  my( $self,$child ) = @_;
+  $self->[1] = $child;
+  return $self;
+}
 
- * To futher shorten the code in `canonical_path_compact` we
-   replace the filtering clause with a regular expression which is
-   7-bytes shorter.
+sub add_child_right {
+  my( $self,$child ) = @_;
+  $self->[2] = $child;
+  return $self;
+}
 
-```perl
+sub left {
+  my $self = shift;
+  return $self->[1];
+}
 
-sub canonical_path_compact_opt {
-  my @d=();
-  ''ne$_&&'.'ne$_&&('..'eq$_?pop@d:push@d,$_)for split/\//,shift;
-  join'/','',@d;
+sub right {
+  my $self = shift;
+  return $self->[2];
 }
 
-my @g;
-sub canonical_path_compact_glob {
-  @g=();
-  ''ne$_&&'.'ne$_&&('..'eq$_?pop@g:push@g,$_)for split/\//,shift;
-  join'/','',@g;
+sub has_left {
+  my $self = shift;
+  return defined $self->[1];
 }
 
-sub canonical_path_compact {
-  my @d=();
-  /^\.?$/||('..'eq$_?pop@d:push@d,$_)for split/\//,shift;
-  return join'/','',@d;
+sub has_right {
+  my $self = shift;
+  return defined $self->[2];
 }
+
 ```
 
-### The string code
+## Walking the tree...
 
-Here we re-implement the two string algorithms in compact 1-liners.
+Our tree walking function takes up to 4 parameters:
 
- * `canonical_path_fast` and `canonical_path_fastest` correspond
-   directly to the two methods above.
+ 1. `$fn` a callback function which does whatever is needed,
+    e.g. collect summary statistics, update the node etc;
+ 1. `$global` a reference to a variable which is used as
+    "global" storage for the walk
+ 1. `$local` a variable which is used as "local" storage for the walk,
+    it is updated as the value from `$fn` before being passed to the
+    children,
+ 1. `$dir` the direction of the walk whether it be "left" or "right"
 
- * `canonical_path_short` replaces the equality checks for "" and
-   "`.`" with the regex as we saw in the array code.
+`$self`, `$global`, `$local` and `$dir` are all passed to the callback
+function....
+
+The code itself is quite simple to look at...
 
- * `canonical_path_shortest` removes the need for one of the
-   ternary operators by performing string multiplication when
-   adding the directory to the list. If the regex returns true,
-   then `"/$_"x!/.../` is `"/$_"x 0` or "". If the regex returns
-   false then `"/$_"x!/.../` is `"/$_"x 1` or "`/$_`".
-   
-```perl 
-sub canonical_path_shortest {
-$a='';
-'..'ne$_?$a.="/$_"x!/^\.?$/:$a=~s#/[^/]+$## for split'/',shift;
-$a
-}
-```
-```perl
-sub canonical_path_short {
-$a='';
-/^\.?$/?0:'..'ne$_?$a.="/$_":$a=~s#/[^/]+$## for split'/',shift;
-$a
-}
-```
-```perl
-sub canonical_path_fast {
-$a='';
-'.'ne$_&&''ne$_&&('..'ne$_?$a.="/$_":$a=~s#/[^/]+$##)for split'/',shift;
-$a
-}
-```
-```perl
-sub canonical_path_fastest {
-$a='';
-'.'ne$_&&''ne$_&&('..'ne$_?$a.='/'.$_:substr$a,rindex($a,'/'),~0,'')for split'/',shift;
-$a
-}
-```
 ```perl
-my $s;
-sub canonical_path_global {
-$s='';
-'.'ne$_&&''ne$_&&('..'ne$_?$s.='/'.$_:substr$s,rindex($s,'/'),~0,'')for split'/',shift;
-$s
+sub walk {
+  my( $self, $fn, $global, $local, $dir ) = @_;
+  my ($v,$l,$r) = @{$self};
+  $local = $fn->( $self, $global, $local, $dir||'' );
+  $self->left->walk(  $fn, $global, $local, 'left'  ) if defined $self->has_left;
+  $self->right->walk( $fn, $global, $local, 'right' ) if defined $self->has_right;
+  return;
 }
 ```
 
-## Performance of different methods
-
-We will look at some different versions of the code:
-
-  * whether we use an array or string to accumulate the resultant path
-  * Whether we use "readable" code or Perl hacks and tricks
-
-To see what aspects of our code makes it faster or slower
-
-### Summary of methods..
- * "Long form" Perl...
-   * `canonical_path_double`      - Using a double loop
-   * `canonical_path_array`       - Using backtracking instead of inner loop
-   * `canonical_path_string`      - Use a string as the accumulator and mapping
-   * `canonical_path_string_fast` - As above - but using substr/rindex
- * "One-liner" perl {arrays}
-   * `canonical_path_compact`      - short version of array code
-   * `canonical_path_compact_opt`  - optimized version of above - 1-less regex
-   * `canonical_path_compact_glob` - as above but with global variable
- * "One-liner" perl {strings}
-   * `canonical_path_shortest` - most compact method
-   * `canonical_path_short`    - compact method
-   * `canonical_path_fast`     - replace one of the regex with equality checks
-   * `canonical_path_fastest`  - replace other regex with substr/rindex
-   * `canonical_path_global`   - as fastest but with global variable...

-### Summary
-What we see is:
- * that the optimized string code is faster than the array code,
-   by around 12-15%
- * using compact "1-liner" code can be approximately 10%
-   faster.
- * but using less regex's and replacing them with
-   eq/ne for comparisons and `substr`/`rindex` for
-   replacement/trimming improves the speed the most.
-    * approx 25-30% for removing the comparison regex for checking
-      `' '` or `'.'` and replacing with two `eq`/`ne`
-    * approx 30-40% for removing the substitute of the string
-      from the last `'/'` to the end of the string, with `rindex`
-      and the the four parameter version of `substr`.
-    * combining the two seems to double the performance!
-  * switching from local to global variables gets a minor
-    gain (about 1-2%) again due to memory management.
-
-## Conclusion
-
-So short code is interesting - but is not by a long shot the
-most efficient especially in respect of converting regexes into
-`substr`/`index`/`rindex`, allocation of variables, even if we
-keep it to a 1-liner.
-
-*e.g.* with the short code - we see the optimal short string code is
-twice as efficient as the shortest version - and only about 33% longer.
-
-One of the interesting things is that there is some discussion that
-avoiding concatenating strings by pushing them into an array and
-joining them is supposedly faster than just concatenating.... This
-seems to prove otherwise.. So don't assume everything you read - but
-check it yourself!
-
-# Challenge 2 - Climb Stairs
-
-You are given `$n` steps to climb - Write a script to find out the
-distinct ways to climb to the top. You are allowed to climb either
-1 or 2 steps at a time.
-
-## Assumption
-
-Although not clear - I just assumed that the response was a single
-numeric value.
-
-## Solution
-
-We first note that the formula for number of steps climbed can be
-seen to be.
-
-  `count_n = count_(n-1) + count_(n-2)`
-
-As the last step is either a 1-step (when there are therefore `count_(n-1)`
-options to get to that step) or 2-step (when there are therefore `count_(n-2)`
-options to get to that step)...
-
-This is a recognisable formula - it is just a fibonnaci sequence.
-
-## Brute force solution
-
-We could use a recursive method to get the fibonnaci values out - but
-that would have function call overheads - rather we can use just two
-variables to store the sequence, we define `$a` & `$b` to both be `1`
-and then each iteration through we set `$a` to `$b` and `$b` to the sum
-of `$a` & `$b`. We just then return the last value of `$b`.
+## Cloning - with walk 
 
 ```perl
-sub climb {
-  my($a,$b) = (1,1);
-  ($a,$b) = ($b,$a+$b) foreach 2..$_[0];
-  return $b;
+sub clone {
+  my( $self, $clone_fn ) = @_;
+  $clone_fn ||= sub { $_[0] };
+  my $clone = {};
+  $self->walk( sub { my( $node, $global, $local, $dir ) = @_;
+    if(exists $global->{'tree'} ) {
+      my $child = BinaryTree->new( $clone_fn->( $node->value ) );
+      $dir eq 'left' ? $local->add_child_left( $child ) : $local->add_child_right( $child );
+      return $child;
+    }
+    $global->{'tree'} = BinaryTree->new( $clone_fn->( $node->value ) );
+    return $global->{'tree'};
+  }, $clone );
+  return $clone->{'tree'};
 }
 ```
+We can use this `walk` method to clone our tree.
+Global is a hashref with one entry - 'tree' which will contain our
+cloned tree.
 
-This uses one of the nice features of perl in the fact that you can
-assign to more than one variable with the same statement, you often
-see this when you flip two values over.
-
-Classically you would write:
+The first time through the loop it initialises the tree and adds the
+root node to the tree and returns itself. `$local` is then this node.
 
-```perl
-my $t = $a;
-$a = $b;
-$b = $t;
-```
-but you in perl can write this as:
-```perl
-($a,$b)=($b,$a);
-```
-without the need of the additionaly (temporary) variable.
+For subsequent calls the tree exists and so a new BinaryTree objects is
+produced and attached to it's parent (which is held in `$local`) either
+as a left or right child.
 
-## Building a cache using state or global variables - or pre-computing
+`clone` can take an additional `callback` which is applied to each
+node when being copied - which defaults to just a straight copy.
 
-If the call is being made repeatedly we can cache results - either
-using a "`state`" variable within the function or a "`global`" variable.
+There are two more "walk methods" in the object, which dump the data:
+either as a single line of values (flatten) or as "ASCII-art" to show
+the nodes and their relationships.
 
 ```perl
-sub climb_cache {
-  state @cache = (1,1);
-  $cache[$_]=$cache[$_-1]+$cache[$_-2] foreach @cache .. $_[0];
-  return $cache[$_[0]];
+sub flatten {
+  my( $self,$dump_fn ) = @_;
+  $dump_fn ||= sub { $_[0] };
+  my $arrayref = [];
+  $self->walk( sub {
+    my($node,$global) = @_;
+    push @{$global}, $dump_fn->( $node->value );
+  }, $arrayref );
+  return @{$arrayref};
 }
 
-my @glob_cache = (1,1);
-sub climb_cache_glob {
-  $glob_cache[$_]=$glob_cache[$_-1]+$glob_cache[$_-2] foreach @glob_cache .. $_[0];
-  return $glob_cache[$_[0]];
+sub dump {
+  my( $self, $dump_fn ) = @_;
+  $dump_fn ||= sub { $_[0] };
+  $self->walk( sub {
+    my( $node, $global, $local, $dir ) = @_;
+    say join '',
+        $local||'',
+        $dir eq 'left' ? '<' : $dir eq 'right' ? '>' : ' ',
+        ' ', $dump_fn->($node->value);
+    return $local .= '  ';
+  }, {}, '', '' );
+  return;
 }
 ```
 
-Finally we look at the cache check overhead by pre-computing the values into 
-a cache and then run:
+Like clone they take a simple call back if you want to include a
+function of the object's values rather than the value itself....
+*a callback* within *a callback*.... You could even say its
+***Turtles all the way down***...
 
-```perl
-sub climb_lookup {
-  return $ans[$_[0]];
-} 
-```
+## The solution
 
-## Mathematical formula solution
+### Walking the tree to get the sum
 
-There is Binet's formula for the `n`th fibonacci number which is:
+We create a "*global*` variable which contains the total, walk through
+all nodes and add the node value to this total.... We can then
+retrieve the value by inspecting `$glob`..
 
+```perl
+my $glob = { 'total' => 0 };
+$y->walk( sub {
+  my( $node, $global ) = @_;
+  $global->{'total'} += $node->value;
+}, $glob );
 ```
-     phi^n - 1/(-phi)^n
-fn = ------------------
-         sqrt 5
-```
-
-Where `phi` is the golden ratio or 1.618,033,988 == (1+sqrt 5)/2, this
-number crops up in many different places from art to nature.
-
-To speed up the calculation we compute `(phi^n)` and to get the second
-value we note that this can be written as `(-1)^n/(phi^n)`. So we only
-need to calculate `(phi^n)` once. Also we note `(-1)^n` can be
-rewritten as `n&1?1:-1`;
 
-In reality we don't even need to do this last trick, the contribution
-to the sum of '(-1)^n/(phi^n)/sqrt 5' is going to be less than `0.5`
-for all `n>=0` we can just reduce the formula to the first part to
+### Walking the tree to update the nodes...
 
-```
-fn = floor  (phi^n/sqrt 5)
-```
+We pass the variable $glob back in, and use the total there
+to update the value. For the value to be the sum of all the
+other nodes, we can get this by adding all the nodes together
+than subtracting away the node value....
 
+So the 2nd half becomes.
 ```perl
-sub climb_fib {
-  my $q = ((1 + sqrt 5)/2)**($_[0]+1);
-  return int(0.001+ ($q - ($_[0]&1?1:-1)/$q)*sqrt 0.2);
-}
-
-sub climb_fib_1liner {
-  return int(0.001 + (($a = ((1+sqrt 5)/2)**($_[0]+1)) - ($_[0]&1?1:-1)/$a)*sqrt 0.2);
-}
-
-sub climb_fib_approx {
-  return int(0.4 + (0.5+sqrt 1.25)**($_[0]+1)*sqrt 0.2);
-}
+$y->walk( sub {
+  my( $node, $global ) = @_;
+  $node->update( $global->{'total'} - $node->value );
+}, $glob );
 ```
-
-## Analysis and conclusion
-
-The following are data for computing all values up to "50 steps".
-
-|       |      Rate |  climb |   fib | fib-1 | cache | g-cch | fib-a | look  |
-| ----- |  -------: |  ----: | ----: | ----: | ----: | ----: | ----: | ----: |
-| climb |   7,145/s |     -- |  -86% |  -88% |  -89% |  -89% |  -92% |  -96% |
-| fib   |  52,854/s |   640% |    -- |   -8% |  -16% |  -21% |  -39% |  -72% |
-| fib-1 |  57,208/s |   701% |    8% |    -- |   -9% |  -14% |  -34% |  -70% |
-| cache |  62,657/s |   777% |   19% |   10% |    -- |   -6% |  -28% |  -67% |
-| g-cch |  66,489/s |   831% |   26% |   16% |    6% |    -- |  -23% |  -65% |
-| fib-a |  86,505/s | 1,111% |   64% |   51% |   38% |   30% |    -- |  -54% |
-| look  | 189,394/s | 2,551% |  258% |  231% |  202% |  185% |  119% |    -- |
-
-
- * Using "Binet's" formula we see we get approx `8x` the speed of
-   the original `climb` function.
- * Using the approximation to Binet's formulate we see we get a factor
-   of about `12x` speed up.
- * Using the cache seems to give about a `9x` speed gain - the `global`
-   variable version is better than the `state` version.
- * Interestingly if you pre-compute the cache then the speed gain is
-   over `25x` to the original and `3x` times the speed of the basic
-   cache function - this is probably due to the overhead of checking
-   to see if the number is already in the cache.
-
-So some food for thought on how to best handle calls within tight loops.
