BTW this is extremely common in life insurance systems, where premiums (provisions, surrender values, etc.) depend on formulas applied to mortality tables; these data themselves are simply tables for people from 0 to 100 years of age, so many formulas end up with only 100 possible outputs and are precomputed. (or 200 for combined probabilities, or gender-specific ones)
