Below is a Clojure solution that runs in 8.58 microseconds on my
machine. I only did it for the 40, 3 case. Records are linked. The
list reduction solution runs in 23.4 and the element recursion in 27.3
--art
(defrecord Soldier [val r])
(def v (vec (map #(Soldier. % (inc %)) (range 40))))
(def v2 (assoc v 39 (Soldier. 39 0)))
(defn move [v i]
(let [r1 (v i) r2 (:r (v (:r r1)))]
[(:r (v r2)) (assoc v (:r r1) (Soldier. (:val r1) (:r (v
r2))))]
))
(defn joe [v]
(loop [v v i 0 count 39]
(if (zero? count)
(inc i)
(let [[a b] (move v i)]
(recur b a (dec count))))))
(prn (joe v2))
(let [start (System/currentTimeMillis) iterations 100000]
(doseq [i (range 100000)] (joe v2))
(let [end (System/currentTimeMillis)]
(println (/ (* (- end start) 1000.00) iterations) "
microseconds")))
