/**
 * @function memoize
 * @description ->
 * 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
 * @param {Map} cache - it's receive any cache DS which have get, set & has method
 * @returns {Function} Memoized function
