Scratch challenge!
 

Pretty cool [URL="http://scratch.mit.edu/"]language[/URL], eh?

After solving a [URL="http://www.projecteuler.net/"]Project Euler[/URL] problem they let you view a forum where you get to see all the neat ways to solve the problems. Our way is probably always going to be brute force. To a hammer, everything looks like a nail.



[B]To the forum: Can we solve all of Project Euler's problems in Scratch?[/B]

[code]#! /usr/bin/env python3
i = 0
j = 1
tmp = 0
sum = 0
while tmp <= 4000000:
tmp = i + j
if tmp % 2 == 0:
sum = sum + tmp # sum += temp
i = j
j = tmp
# i, j = j, tmp
print(str(sum))
[/code]My one complaint about Python is that it refuses to implicitly convert ints to strs.

How I would have done it:
[code]#! /usr/bin/env python3
sum, i, j = 0, 0, 1
while j < 4000000:
if j % 2 == 0:
sum += j
i, j = j, i+j
print(str(sum))[/code]

See the attached PDF for a fancy way of doing the problem.

Edit: Um, see message #7.

Let's not set up a bad example.


Right! I think their hidden forum that opens after one solves a problem is very similar to the Hoff forum. Everyone wants to get in. Few do.:flex:

Oops! It has been removed.

If you want to see the PDF, solve problem #2 at Project Euler.

:blush:

Are greenies allowed into The Hoff?

Solution of p9, it will take some time to solve it with (almost completely) brute force.

"play sound: meow!"
:cmd:
That is why it takes so long... :razz:

Solution of p6 is really fast with brute force:
