Hello hdb,

Brilliant use of vec, producing fast and very clever code. Bravo!

But — running your script on my system, I didn’t get anywhere near integer overflow before Windows effectively froze, with Task Manager showing memory at 97% and disk at 100%. (I didn’t time it, but it can’t have taken more than an hour or two to get to this point.) The console read:

2162984298      13994685375     1355    13994685375     1749335672

So then I ran my script to see if it would get that far. 14 hours and 37 minutes later (!) it had reached:

n = 2177458553, elapsed time: 52649.9s

with Task Manager showing memory at 60% and disk at 0%.

:-)

Cheers,

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
