I wrote the following code to solve this challenge - https://www.reddit.com/r/dailyprogrammer/comments/35s2ds/20150513_challenge_214_intermediate_pile_of_paper/.
Code - https://github.com/amithgeorge/reddit-dailyprogrammer-clojure/blob/56ce1dbb6a08e96150dc85934caecfeb68108a53/src/rdp/214_intermediate.clj I executed the -main function using `lein run 1`. Output ;; lein run 1 0 12605919 1 3578145 2 15356894 3 19134293 4 2394558 5 15030409 6 6424953 7 14893444 8 1592254 9 1914025 10 7075106 "Elapsed time: 501168.972435 msecs" The code originally used an immutable hashmap, but I lost patience waiting for the computation to end. With mutable hashmap, it still takes around 8 mins. I wrote a C# version of the above code - https://gist.github.com/amithgeorge/766b8220f39d48221e58. It finishes under 40secs. The C# exe was built under Release mode and executed directly from the commandline. I expected the Clojure version to perform similarly. Any tips on what I am doing wrong? ----- Explanation of the code - Create a vector of all paper sheets, such that the sheet placed last is the first element of the vector and the last element is the canvas. To compute the frequency of each visible color - for each point in the canvas find the first sheet in the vector that covers the point. Store/increment its count in the hashmap. I understand there might be better more efficient ways to solve this, but currently I am interested in why the Clojure versions is so slow vis-a-vis the C# version. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
