Talk:Kaprekar numbers: Difference between revisions

::Larry, how old are you? You have accepted that "Ledrug submitted a single version, which he later updated with the mod filter, that was faster than mine, well-written, and worked for all number bases." You have agreed that he replaced your version to "reduce code; simplify; speed up; conform to task and extra". Does this not imply that your code needed improving? I am not interested in your critisism of me, though when it degenerates to "Well said. He is clearly more interested in being a pompous dick then contributing quality code to RC" I don't think it is acceptable.--[[User:Nigel Galloway|Nigel Galloway]] 13:05, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

 

I have identified 3 approaches to this task:

1) a naive approach which loops over all numbers testing each fully for Kaprekarness;

ledrug's solution was of the first ilk, my better idea was to implemented a solution of the third. ledrug responded by upgrading his solution to type 2 and overwrote my solution with his. I recovered my solution and left ledrug's second solution in tact. He says's "then my edit you reverted" (sic), perhaps he didn't check the changes and thought I had deleted his - I had not. I may work further on this solution. I have noticed that the first 2 Kaprekars are in ran and that the test is simpler when it only needs to identify Kaprekars larger than Base. I have asked ledrug to leave this solution in place. I think he will comply even though he thinks saying please is bad manners. Larry didn't leave it, but I just put that down to vengence, the only reason he supplied is that ledrug has taught him to swear. I have supplied two good C++ solutions, but have not deleted the origional rather slow version. Ledrug has now implemented a fourth method, without deleting any one elses. Is that not better?

=== Testing Common Lisp Contributions ===

Just to confirm my suspicions about the quality of Nigel's CL submissions, I decided to test both Ledrug and Nigel's current versions:
