I've just asked this question (multiple errors while momoizing function inside another function) and I've got a nice answer... but! Just to understand a little more about JavaScript, I'd like to know if the momoized function can be written in this style:
function main () {
function memoized_f(){
//memoizing code
}
}
EDIT: Please notice I'm not asking what is the difference in the code above, I'm asking if it is possible to memoize the second one!
So, how to rewrite this?
function main() {
var create_node = (function() {
var memo;
console.log("memo: " + memo);
console.log("create_node")
function f() {
var value;
if (memo) {
value = memo.cloneNode();
console.log("clone node");
console.log(value);
} else {
var value = document.createElement("div");
value.innerHTML = "hello";
console.log("new node");
console.log("value: " + value);
memo = value;
}
return value;
}
return f;
})();
var collection = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
collection.push(create_node());
};
// Display results
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
console.log(i + ". " + collection[i]);
}
}
main();
