Hello,

For a exercism challenge I need to calculate the total grains on a chessboard.

So I did :

atSquare: anInteger
    self validateInput: anInteger.
    ^ anInteger = 1
        ifTrue: [ 1 ]
        ifFalse: [ 2 * (self atSquare: anInteger - 1) ]

but when I run the tests , the vm seems to be not responsive for some 4 - 5 seconds.

Is there a way I can use this code and take care that the vm stays responsive.

Regards,

Roelof
