NaaLaa

OK. I know this is not the kind of program NaaLaa has been created for, but I use it to test the speed of any language I try. Well, NaaLaa is doing a pretty good job here and runing this example as fast as other fast interpreters. Smile

Code:
n = 35001

a = 10000

d = 0

k = 0

g = 0

l = 0

f = []

for x = 0 to n

    f[x] = 2000

next

for c = n to 14 step -14 

        d = 0

        for b = c to 1 step -1

            d = d * b

            g = b * 2 - 1

            d = d + f[b] * a

            f[b] = d % g

            d = floor(d / g)

            k = l + floor(d / a)

        next

        k2 = right("0000" + k, 4)

        write k

        l = d % a

next

EDIT: On my machine it takes about 1 min. to complete the task and this is the speed I'm expecting from an interpreted language. Python is slightly faster, while Perl being 25% faster than Python. Tcl is 10+ times slower than NaaLaa. It's worth to remember that NaaLaa runs through Wine, while Python, Perl and Tcl run natively.

Varies a little on my machine... averages between 15 and 21 seconds. Preventing the "text" being displayed made little to no difference in the running times... but still cool...

You definitely have a more powerful hardware. Preventing text from being displayed will not help here as the inner loop takes the most time in this example.

I added some lines at the bottom of the codes to measure it.

Code:
pln "It took "+clock()/1000+" seconds"

pln

pln "Press ENTER to quit"

temp=rln() 'pause

On my computer, it took 30 seconds. ... My machine is slower than Johnno's Sad
