Factorials in Racket
#lang racket
;;
;; These are some examples of different ways to compute factorials
;; using various paradigms and features provided by Racket. There
;; are more options available in packages which are not imported
;; by default, but that rabbit hole goes very deep indeed.
;;
;; Comments and suggestions welcome!
