2020-12-03: Update #23 (6 files, including one new Article):
HP Article VA051 - Boldly Going - Climbing Project Euler.pdf (click to see or download) in
HP Calculator Articles
- 12-page article, featuring Project Euler, a fantastic Internet project which attempts (and succeeds, in spades !) at providing a huge supply of challenging math + programming problems which are immensely fun to try and solve, while learning loads of new concepts and sharpening your own skills in the process.
In this article I tell my story with PE and how I dealt with it back in 2011 during the second half of my summer vacations, using the vintage 1984-era HP-71B (emulated & physical), which is many orders of magnitude slower and less capable than the hardware/software combinations PE's problems are primarily intended for (i.e.: fast modern CPUs + high-level compiled languages), thus enormously upping the ante when tackling them with ancient hardware and interpreted BASIC. See for yourself how I did !
The article features no less than 7 carefully-selected, non-trivial Project Euler problems wich are discussed and solved, with code and full comments, and which you might want to try and solve on your own with your preferred HP calc.
Last but not least, there's also the following files
