# Initialize global function call variable

# Wrap function in memoization wrapper

  # Increment funcRuns every time the function is run
  funcRuns += 1

# Initialize numbers list
nums = [0,1,2,3,4,4]

# Run the list comprehension with 2 calls to f(x) per iteration
#   with 6 elements in the list and 2 calls per iteration this would 
#   normally yield 12 fuction executions.

# Log number of f(x) runs
