I haven't started yet cos I still have some left over work from the office,

Hi guys.
Anybody making progress on the challenge? I just solved the first question

The following text is an in-order traversal of a binary tree with 1023 nodes. What is the sum of the digits appearing in the leaves?

Nairaland geeks, abeg show yaself na??

I shared my solution to question one on my website:

Suggestion for optimization of the code are welcome

I finally solved this question and it was surprisingly easy.

Mobinga:

Lol, I also saw that

i think I am the only netizen with username tundebabzy,  and I have been trying my hands on project-euler,
And thanks, i'm seriously expecting your input.
I should be sleeping now but let me see what I can do to fayimora's homework

I left that project euler after 20 problems cause its all maths, no berra challenge

Yup I agree, and for some of the questions, you just can't solve them by brute force efficiently.

Nooo its not man,  No one times u, Nothing you just provide the answer.No time frame. hahhaa You probably wanna take a look at the real programming challenges,

Hehehe do you want to go on a ride? Am gonna find a way to login to euler again(cant remember my password) and solve 40 questions in the next 5hrs , LOL On a serz note if i sit down with those questions,  i wud brutalize them. You are right, the reason why i dnt like it is because of the "submit answer" thingy,  no code testing or anyfin, time limits and the rest.

It just makes me lazy and i dnt even try to work on my code more than 2wice. Say i try to find the 12345678th fibonacci number, if i do it first with a loop, and then try to play with recursion. Thats where i just stop because I know i just need the answer. Computer Scientists are lazy people, even tho they actually aren't.

Obviously, hhaha was just kidding, but i can tackle 10 in 3hrs.am sure of that

Even if you have the time and fully focused?.trst me u wud except if you hate maths which I doubt
