Hey all,
I am working through some Project Euler problem (#008) about searching
through a number to determine the greatest product of
thirteen adjacent numbers. Here is a code snippet:
n = 12
numb_strg = "82166370484403199890008895243450658541227588666881"
string_post = length(numb_strg) - n
string_post = 0
When I run this command: *collect(numb_strg[(string_post+1):(string_post*
*+n)])*
I get a character vector.
12-element Array{Char,1}:
'8'
'2'
'1'
'6'
'6'
'3'
'7'
'0'
'4'
'8'
'4'
'4'
However, if I attempt to convert it to a integer array. I get the following
array.
12-element Array{Int64,1}:
56
50
49
54
54
51
55
48
52
56
52
52
If I subtract 48 from the each element in the array, I get the correct number.
Is there any reason for the odd conversion from character to integer (or
float)? My primary language is R and I am using Project Euler to learn Julia.
Thanks,
James
