Weekend Hacking

Spent the whole of yesterday reading up on algorithm’s and trying to come up with new ones. I guess, things would have been a lot easier if I had done CS ( having issues understanding the most elementry stuff ), but heck, learning is always fun.. and thats exactly what I’ve been doing.

Also got a taste of C++ and its speed. My perl program was crunching about 10k lines per second. The same exact algorithm in C++ was crunching about 60-70k lines per second. Now thats something.. ( but its 1000 times more easier to work on an algo in perl then C++ ). Also most of the parsing work was done by a library written by and his team. So that really speeded up things.

Next week should be intresting… more hacking and more coding.
