Efficient Binary Multiplication (Quentin Liu) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sat, 14 Apr 2018 16:28:55 -0400 From: Quentin Liu <quentin.liu.0...@gmail.com> To: The Haskell-Beginners Mailing List - Discussion of primarily beginner-level topics related to Haskell <beginners@haskell.org> Subject: [Haskell-beginners] Efficient Binary Multiplication Message-ID: <2cd382a0-b5be-4eed-a0c0-e25d2045031d@Spark> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi all, Suppose I want to multiply two binary numbers whose representation uses lists (e.g. 14 is represented as [1, 1, 1, 0]). Is there any efficient way to do binary multiplication? The way I could come up with involves a lot of intermediate lists that will be discarded eventually and is extremely inefficient. I know one fast algorithm that uses Array but would it be possible to do the multiplication with only lists?
