Project Euler is a website dedicated to the presentation of intriguing problems which combine mathematical insight and computer coding. It provides a system where people can make an account, attempt the problem and try and submit a solution.
The purpose of this repository is to showcase the code I have written for Project Euler over the years. Note that some of it was written a LONG time ago and so the code may be a bit rough in places and not use the best variable naming or code conventions.
My user name was thingamabob and I have solved 84 of 638 problems (as of 20/10/2018).
To play around with this repository, use the command:
git clone https://github.com/simon-mcmahon/project-euler.git in the directory you wish to copy the files.
Scripts inside the **progress_2015-2016 filder use python 2.7. Python 3.X is used elsewhere.
Note that some problems in progress_2018 depend on text files containing primes sourced from here.
External libraries are sometimes required, look at the script and install before use.
| Directory or Sub-Directory | Purpose |
|---|---|
| progress_2015-2016 | Contains all of the python code written before 2016. Will definitely require python 2.7 to run. |
| ⟶ incomplete | Home to the work in progress python scripts which I did not get around to completing. |
| ⟶ [number] | My solution to some problems such as 22 or 42 required multiple .py files so these have their own sub-folder. |
| ⟶ [number].py | The python code which solves the relevent Project Euler problem either by printing the correct answer or defining a variable equals it. |
| progress_2018 | Folder containing all problems attempted in or after the year 2018. |
| ⟶ incomplete | Home to the work in progress python scripts which I did not get around to completing. |
| ⟶ primes | Folder containing list of extracted txt files each containing 10 million primes for certain problems. Found here. |
| ⟶ [number].py | The python code which solves the relevent Project Euler problem either by printing the correct answer or defining a variable equals it. |
