Re: Project Euler
 

My goal is 95% in two or three weeks.

Re: Project Euler
 

I did the first two in labview, and learned a lot of good things about labview (it's amazing how much better you learn when you do something real, rather then following tutorials).

I think it would also be fun to do them in VHDL (which isn't even on the list). I thought of a way to do the first one in just a few clock cycles, taking into account the massive parallelism you could build into the hardware.

VHDL? You, sir, are my hero.

Re: Project Euler
 

These are great, especially if you are new to problem solving and have small amounts of programming experience! The common problem is that questions are either too hard or too easy, these seem pretty simple for beginners yet still kind of interesting.

these types of problems are really nice to improve your critical thinking and math skills too.

Haha, so I severely underestimated the difficulty of the latter questions. After about 70-100, it gets extremely difficult, and after about 150, it gets close to impossible for me. However, thats why I'm majoring in mechanical engineering, not comp sci. So far I've gotten 112 of them. My new goal is 75% complete which may or may not be realistically attainable.

I've now done 26 in labview. I think I'm getting close to the limit of my abilities while also learning a new language.
