I don't understand why solutions to pretty trivial problems are upvoted so many times. Solutions to the very hardest project Euler problems would be far more interesting.
- RodericDay 10y agoThe very hardest PE problems are almost completely mathematical and require very straightforward code. There's a few amazing computational ones interspersed, like the Numbermind one, but in general I didn't find that the further along I went the harder I worked out my elegant programming skills. It was mostly doing math on paper and pressing it into code.
- chillee 10y agoI agree. In my experience, Project Euler is more computer science for mathematicians than math for computer scientists.
