I like the Project Euler problems that don't require numeral to character conversion. Much more fun. I also prefer it when the cat waits until I'm finished to come sit in my lap.
Took a little longer than I would have liked thanks to a Terminator break I took after getting frustrated with the cat getting in my way. I don't care if they're the best way to detect killer robots, I hate pets. Also, I figured out how to rig my own itoa() thanks to this page. Also, GIP!
As a reminder, I'm working through the Project Euler problems as a refresher to beef up my C++ skills. Also, I'm turbov21 on the site, though I have yet to post to the forums. Thanks to stoneself for keeping me on the long long, and keeping me from trying to use a BigNum library.
I'm not working on the third Euler problem tonight, but I'm doing a bit of research into it. It looks like I'm going to need to use a "bignum" library to handle the number they're using. Does anyone have any advice about the GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library? It looks easier to get access than MIRACL and is more compatible with Linux/g++ than Crypto++, which is why I'm planning to use it. Does anyone have any experience with it?
