[Challenge] Programming Contest #2
[Challenge] Programming Contest #2: Circular Primes.
Alright fags and fagettes. Last time you all bitched out so I decided to make a nice easy one for all you lazy bastards that didn't do it last time. Here's the question:
An optional kicker is, no string manipulation.
Anyway, I expect way more entries this time, as Patrick has been on my ass all day to put this thread up.
@why06 Get your lazy ass in here
@Hassan Don't say I didn't tell you
@Hell_Demon Another epic solution pl0x
@Void Another 97 minute solution pl0x
@Virtual_Void An entry pl0x
@Brinuz A Portuguese entry pl0x
@Coeus No excuses Alen
@Blubb1337 Prove that Nazis ain't all bad
@master131 ANOTHER SOLUTION PLXX
@freedompeace Don't bitch out this time
@NextGen1 DO ET, I don't care if you're tired
Now, I will close this in approx 7 days (though it took me 10 mins to write my own solution, but you guys all have inferior coding skills to me so I'll give you a fair warning)
PLEASE ACTUALLY ENTER THIS TIME OR YOU LOSE MY RESPECT
Cheers,
Your friendly neighborhood Jason.
Hop to it!
Code:
Find the NUMBER of CIRCULAR PRIMES that are BELOW the number 500000

... do I really need Jason's respect? And what's with this fascination with prime numbers? I say leave math to the mathematician, there's a reason Primes are so hard to get, and that's cause there's no formula for them, of course that's also what makes them so valuable to security and encryption experts, but I really don't feel like writing code that just test processor speed. I you guys want specs I have a AMD Turion X2, Dual Core 64 bit processor. Are we done or should I run some benchmarks too?
