Gah! Gmail has really broken defaults for posting to lists. On 10/02/07, Creighton Hogg <wchogg@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello Haskell-ers, So a friend and I were thinking about making code faster in Haskell, and I was wondering if there was a way to improve the following method of generating the list of all prime numbers. It takes about 13 seconds to run, meanwhile my friend's C version took 0.1. I'd love to learn a bit more about how to optimize Haskell code.
Which subproblem takes 13 seconds? (Surely generating a list of all primes will take an infinite amount of time, since there are infinitely many of them?) -- Peter Berry <pwberry@gmail.com> Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
