Do any of the Project Euler questions actually require lengthy computation, or is that more a sign that one should be looking for some mathematical insight that leads to a more efficient computation?
- xapata 9y agoPyPy won't change your data structures and algorithms, so it's not finding mathematical insight.
- Myrmornis 9y agoYes that’s the point I was making. Maybe you intended your comment to be a sibling to mine.
- xapata 9y agoMore likely I missed your point.
- daveFNbuck 9y agoIt seems that you're saying that I should be finding mathematical insight instead of using PyPy, while xapata is saying that if my code runs fast in PyPy then I've already found enough mathematical insight.
- daveFNbuck 9y agoMost of them don't require lengthy computation, but some of them did for me. I know at least some of the time that's because I didn't know enough math, but sometimes I had the same algorithm as the other people in the solution thread but with much slower runtimes. I think numpy gives a bigger speedup than PyPy for a lot of the problems.
