Thousand of hours on this. Love it.

So, to remind myself, Euler's name is pronounced more like Oiler, right?

I love running euler problems when trying to learn the basics of a new programming language. I have a small collection of programs in like 10 different languages that I keep around as a reference for things because I always try to use language-specific features to solve the problems, and then I reference them as examples.

I too owe had my love for programming captured through project Euler. I am immensely grateful to my maths prof who introduced me to it.

I also love looking back at my old PE code and having absolutely no idea what it doing. No comments, no docs, no notes. From a different era.

So much more fun than leetcode. OTOH, unlikely to help you in an interview.

I remember visiting Project Euler back in 2013/14 or so. Was really my first introduction to programming exercises as youngin. Probably did fifteen or so of them before ADHD kicked in though. A small gem on the web.

I did a lot of these when I was around 15-16 and it solidified for me my interest in CS but in general abstract thinking and problem solving. Great site.

i was a euler fanatic some years ago reaching problems in the 500s albeit, skipping problems along the way. at that point, too many problems required a deeper math background than i possessed so i abandoned it. what amazed me was that others composed solutions that solved problems in mere milliseconds that brute force approaches would still be running when the universe cooled to absolute zero.

Anyone else having problems registering? or is my solution to Problem Zero wrong...
