Certainly--I was not comparing 1000000 against 10000. Referring to the OP's statement: "However, while the python code gave the result almost instantly, the C++ code took several seconds to run!" 30ms sounds like a definite improvement over several seconds! I'll try to tweak it later at home and report here. I'll try out the 1000000 too.
