Actually, your solution with arrays is the most often occured solution an imperative programmer will come with. It is simple but not scalable and not particularly fast.

What gave you that impression?

Discussion in Russian Smalltalk User Group. A solution in APL: http://catpad.net/michael/apl/ Some experience before (my own first implementation and some of my friends).

Or, you're asking about scalability and speed?

I meant the scalability and speed. An imperative solution should be simpler, more scalable and faster than any purely functional solution. -- Dr Jon Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. http://www.ffconsultancy.com/?e
