Euler's Melting Pot

This is a Project Euler attempt. The catch is that every challenge will be completed in a different programming language.

Euler's Melting Pot is also being run as an educational YouTube series, where I talk about the code I've written here. See https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1ltQrTP1szcCAD-Jm-6eQdV_zhnm3oNq

Euler 2

Euler 3

Euler 4

  • File: problem4.bat
  • Language: Batch

Euler 9

Euler 10

Euler 11

  • File: problem11.s
  • Language: NASM
  • Compiler / Interpreter: NASM + GCC Linker

Euler 12

Euler 13

  • File: problem13.sed
  • Language: sed
  • Compiler / Interpreter: GNU sed
  • Notes: Other sed implementations may not work. Must supply ./files/problem13.txt as input.

Euler 14

Euler 27

Euler 28

  • File: problem28.bf

  • Compiler / Interpreter: TIO Nexus
  • Notes: The seemingly pointless union with the empty list at the end serves to remove duplicates.

Euler 32

Euler 33

  • File: problem33.xsl
  • Language: XSLT
  • Compiler / Interpreter: Mozilla Firefox
  • Notes: Load ./files/p33.xml to run the XSLT code; requires disabling security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy on Firefox due to local system security constraints.

Valid Languages

Mostly, I am just using common sense to determine what constitutes a "language". In particular, a language does not have to be Turing-complete in order for me to consider using it for this challenge. Here are just a few of the guidelines I am following. These are in no way permanent or binding and will change as I progress.

  • BF-derivatives and BF-clones are considered identical to Brainf**k and will not be used.
  • Lisp derivatives are considered distinct. That is, there will be a Racket, a Common Lisp, and an ELisp, which are all distinct languages.
  • Sufficiently different BASIC dialects will be considered distinct. That is, Visual BASIC, Liberty BASIC, and QBASIC are distinct languages, but Liberty BASIC and JustBASIC are one and the same.
  • The result should be in a normal, human readable form. For example, in BF it is insufficient to print the ASCII character associated with the integer result; it is required to print the result as a number. There is no specific required format, as some languages may include some garbage around the answer, so long as the answer as outputted is clear and readable. If the language is incapable of outputting a human readable value, whatever is considered acceptable output within the language will be acceptable.
  • I have written a few programming languages. At least one of them is in a usable state right now. For fairness, I will not be using any language that I myself wrote.
  • Generally speaking, interpreters and compilers are to be taken "as-is". That means that, while it is perfectly permissible to use compiler-specific extensions to a language, it is also necessary to treat any bugs in the chosen compiler as intended behavior. One minor exception to this is in the case of historical code, where minor modifications are necessary to get a language interpreter written long ago to work on a modern computer, as there are several historical languages I aim to use for this challenge.

Speed Adjectives

Some solutions are marked as "slow". Generally speaking, the following rough guidelines can be used to estimate how long it takes to run the code on a reasonably modern computer. These are, of course, very rough estimates, so take them with a grain of salt.

  • 30s or less: I will generally not denote these at all.
  • 30s to 2min: "A somewhat slow solution"
  • 2min to 10min: "A very slow solution"
  • More than 10min: "An incredibly slow solution"

Currently, the slowest solutions in this repository are:

  • Problem 179 (Whirl) in ~34 minutes
  • Problem 130 (Fourier) in ~26 minutes
  • Problem 96 (Javagony) in ~20 minutes

Currently, the slowest solution in this repository is Problem 130 (Fourier), which takes roughly 26 minutes. The second slowest is Problem 96 (Javagony), at roughly 20 minutes.

I do not have an explicit upper bound on the runtime of a correct algorithm. I will not leave code unattended overnight or for days on end, and the code written must actually terminate on a machine I have access to, not just theoretically produce correct results.

Final Notes

You'll notice that I'm not using many of the mainstream languages so far. This is not because I'm trying to make this challenge harder than it is; this is a purely strategic decision. The later Project Euler problems are more difficult, so I am saving the powerful and easy-to-use languages for them and using obscure, esoteric languages for the easier problems.
