You failed the challenge that you were given. Specifically, your code is not measurably faster on the problem that I set. Moreover, you continued to write as if you had not failed and, worse, went on to give even more awful advice as if your credibility had not just been destroyed. > If you are a Mathematica expert, you could make it recurse yet have > the speed as other langs. No, you cannot. That is precisely why you just failed this challenge. You should accept the fact that Mathematica currently has these insurmountable limitations. -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. http://www.ffconsultancy.com/?u -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
