Re: The Project Euler thread
 
got problem 6 with no trouble, started on 14 and I had a working script for it but I think it was optimized terribly because after 15 minutes it still wasn't giving me results

whoops

Re: The Project Euler thread
 
yeah I brute forced the fuck out of 14

now I'm doing problem 5 and I'm not sure where I'm fucking up, haven't touched arrays in years

edit: talked to one of the instructors, fixed the code and now I'm waiting xd
I really need to get back into math

a clever solution to 5 shouldnt require arrays or waiting. the problem is basically asking for a least common multiple, try thinking of efficient ways of finding those. once you have a solution you could punch it into a calculator (or write a bit of code) and have the answer almost instantly.

Learned Matlab for the past few weeks and now I'm crunching this stuff in Octave

Oh how those green checkmarks make you feel warm and fuzzy inside

so today i remembered i had an account on this thing with 26 solved that i hadn't touched in over three years.

up to 60 now, running out of easy ones really fast. let's see how this goes. even if nothing happens it'll probably be a more productive use of my spare time than cookie clicker or messing around with bitcoin faucets

i was the 30000th person to do #38 yay

I think...I'm going to start this. O_O Time to fail.

I will be going in linear order from start to finish!

hmmm, I managed to do the first 5 in python a while back. BUT I will try to get through more later because next semester I'm taking a college class for C++ which I've been wanting to learn for a long time. :)

you won't finish sorry.

leonid you have not solved a problem in... almost 900 days.

Re: The Project Euler thread
 
I've done about 70 of them, going in order from most solved to least solved.

Re: The Project Euler thread
 
Decided to start doing this again. Going to start from the beginning because I know when I first started my solutions were crap. I used my favorite programming language for this one:


Some actual code:

Code:
/*
* We use the fact that 3+6+9+12+... = 3(1+2+3+..) from which we can
* use the n(n+1)/2 formula for the sum of the first n positve integers
*/
      int a = 999/3; //number of multiples of 3 less than 1000
      int b = 999/5; //number of multiples of 5 less than 1000
      int c = 999/15; //number of multiples of 15 less than 1000
      System.out.println(3*(a)*(a+1)/2+5*(b)*(b+1)/2-15*(c)*(c+1)/2);

Ok, screw the whole going in order thing, I'm just going to do problems I haven't done yet haha. This was a nice paper-n-pencil-n-calculator one as well :) Level 1 get.

Re: The Project Euler thread
 
I tend to just brute force everything :/

*solution to problem nine*
if you haven't done these kinds of problems with pencil/paper you should try it

the first time you realize how to do it it's quite enlightening and exciting

Re: The Project Euler thread
 
pencil&paper will only get you so far
