While Tim's expression might look (superficially) like C, the
five-line alternative isn't exactly an inspiring example of
Pythonicity, is it?
What about
diff = x - x_base
if diff and gcd(diff, n) > 1:
return gcd(diff, n)
# or
if (x - x_base) and gcd(x - x_base, n) > 1:
return gcd(x - x_base, n)
and have the interpreter handle the optimization, or apply an lru_cache? ;-)
Cheers,
Sven
