* @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
