Another Simple Php/python/asp/etc Challenge by elvis10ten(m): 7:18am On Jul 13, 2013 |
Given the sequence of numbers: "3, 5, 7, 9", find the sum of the 50th term and the first 20 terms. Any language is allowed. |

elvis10ten: Given the sequence of numbers: "3, 5, 7, 9", find the sum of the 50th term and the first 20 terms. Any language is allowed. This is not a challenge, this is just addition of numbers by 2, try Project Euler its got more tougher challenge. |

Re: Another Simple Php/python/asp/etc Challenge by elvis10ten(m): 4:09pm On Jul 13, 2013 |
pc guru:Its called AP(arithemetic progression or linear), its gotten that way. Just as the topic says, its a simple challenge. And even if its simple, attempt it and prove its simple. And the question said the sum of the 50th term and the first 20 terms and not addition of 2. Am looking for some one appling some sequence and series formula on this. |

Use the code tag |

spikes C: Use the code tag Thanks bro. There really is so much I have to learn |
Re: Another Simple Php/python/asp/etc Challenge by elvis10ten(m): 2:36pm On Jul 14, 2013 |
humanbean: (Coded in Python 2.7)use www.ideone.com to run the code. |
Re: Another Simple Php/python/asp/etc Challenge by humanbean: 7:01pm On Jul 14, 2013 |
U didn't ask for that initially. That will come later. You can rest assured that it runs properly. |

elvis10ten: Its called AP(arithemetic progression or linear), its gotten that way. Just in case of next time, avoid the keywords that could make the contest easier or less brain wracking. Anyone could easily code with the formular of the sum of n terms of an AP. |

teemy:yah, thanks. |

humanbean: (Coded in Python 2.7) elvis10ten: use www.ideone.com to run the code. The results from Ideone are here - http://ideone.com/OxtlPV (summary - time:0.08s, memory: 8888kb, output: elvis10ten, the answer to your question is 541) |

humanbean:BRAVO humanbean, YOU ARE THE WINNER OF THIS CHALLENGE, thanks for participating in this challenge. You are the only one that has attempted this challenge. Here is my code in php, it takes 0.1s to run http://ideone.com/C3YEs6 |
Re: Another Simple Php/python/asp/etc Challenge by humanbean: 8:00pm On Jul 15, 2013 |
Thanks Elvis. I'm about 1 month into programming so this is encouraging to me. I took a look at your code. Can I challenge you to use only one formula? Can you write it without using the second formula, like I did in mine? I wrote mine to compute each of the first 20 terms manually and then sum them, as opposed to using the default formula for that, like you did. I'd like to see how its done in PHP as I don't have any PHP experience. Expecting your reply. |

Python's effffin' slow!! @Humanbean Nicey! |
Re: Another Simple Php/python/asp/etc Challenge by humanbean: 12:25am On Jul 18, 2013 |
Judinho59: Python's effffin' slow!! Lol! Thanks bruv. Seeing results from other languages, I now understand all the brouhaha about Python's speed. I also have noticed why there's a lot of noise about its small memory footprint. Learning lil by lil, day by day. |
