@bernardH Thanks bernardH for your help. 1. Why subtract 2 ? It is an euler theoram : for finding Modulo inverse , I have written the formula in comments just above the line. ToMod is a big prime number. Euler says for (a/b) mod P where P is big prime number == (a * (b ^ (P-2))mod P) mod P That is why 2 comes there. 2. EulerDivNonMemoized takes x and p and calculates x ^ p ; it assumes that p+2 is going to be a Prime number > x 3. I am taking part in programming contest and their enviroment at https://www.hackerrank.com/environment i would not have access to these libraries. 4. The whole problem is of creating abstract syntax tree .. I am creating it recursively. After AST , problem would be sufficiently simpler. 5. As a design rule you are right about make-calculator-list returning tokens rather than strings.. but does that really cost me in computation ? because i would have to do that work sooner or later.. 6. I think you are right about using long rather than int. But i am not getting wrong answers but timeout problems .. but i would definitely do this change. 7. Thinking non recursively makes it difficult. I mean grammar was recursive so it was much easier to code it in recursive nature. But definitely recursion is going to do StackOverflow at larger inputs. You are right about that.
Q. Are seq passing across functions can be a bottleneck ? i mean it would only the reference of seqs that would have been passed around because everything is immutable. @Anil I have shared the code here : https://gist.github.com/ashishnegi/a9ae3fb3c270c7d3742e#file-calculator-clj -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
