You are right, you have to stop the loop at value when you already have that one in chain(in order to avoid useless repetitons) or just stop at a value equal to one(note that 1 has the same value in all bases: 2 ... 9) . Then you have to check if a given number(increamentally from 2 to max_int) ha

I wonder why his name was choosen to be Goro. Anyway, he isn't that bad, since his worst case average run time is "n"(if he always freeze any number that gets into the right position), which would be "nlgn" for comparison based approaches. On 5/10/11, Gennadiy Zlobin wrote: > And me. > I still th
