Would there be a faster version of this function?

submitted by zyxzevn from self.ProgrammerHumor

function MyFunc(number) 
{ var res = true; if( 
number>0 ){ res=! 
eval("MyFunc"+
"(number-"+
"1)" ); }
return(
res);
}

I really don't know what your actually trying to do here but I know for sure I could write some haskell achieving about the same with a standard python coder understanding even less of it.

If you want this one in really funny you try this in elixir.

It's the only compiler I know that just says "no".

On reddit /r/shittyprogramming we had some contests about who could make the most shitty implementation of "IsEven".
There were worse solutions than this one.

In my implementation I used the build-in Eval() function of javascript to recursively.
And it worked in my tests.
