The Sieve of Atkin in C#

I have previously written about the Sieve of Eratosthenes, which is an algorithm for finding primes. This algorithm worked very well for most of the prime related Euler Problems. However, for one of them it just didn’t do it. Well, … Continue reading

The Sieve of Eratosthenes in C#

In some of the Project Euler problems we have needed a source of primes. One algorithm for finding primes is called the Sieve of Eratosthenes. This algorithm is both pretty simple to understand and to implement. It is also fairly … Continue reading

Project Euler: Problem 14

The following iterative sequence is defined for the set of positive integers: (n is even) (n is odd) Using the rule above and starting with 13, we generate the following sequence: It can be seen that this sequence (starting at … Continue reading

Project Euler: Problem 12

The sequence of triangle numbers is generated by adding the natural numbers. So the 7th triangle number would be 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 28. The first ten terms would be: … Continue reading
