/**

* Memoize

|

* From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoization),
|
||||
* memoization is an optimization technique
|
||||
* used primarily to speed up computer programs,
|
||||
* by storing the results of expensive function calls
|
||||
* and returning the cached result when the same inputs occur again
|
||||
*
|
||||
* This function is a first class objects,
|
||||
* which lets us use it as [Higher-Order Function](https://eloquentjavascript.net/05_higher_order.html)
|
||||
* and return another function
|
||||
*
|
||||
* @param {Function} func Original function
|
||||
* @returns {Function} Memoized function
