| 2026-02-24 23:28:21 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | (I'm not sure if it's responsible to post my solution publically for people to scrutinise) |
| 2026-02-24 23:27:25 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | and I can assure you that I am actually doing work that should take <10us plus `putStrLn . unwords . map show` on a lazy list of Int |
| 2026-02-24 23:26:41 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | it seems printing is actually rather slow on that judge server! On roughly 260000 I take 0.08s, on roughly 653000 I take 0.21s, and on 1000000 I take 0.30s |
| 2026-02-24 23:26:22 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <ijouw> yes, it is (n*(n+1))/2 |
| 2026-02-24 23:25:48 +0100 | <geekosaur> | `sum [1..n]` isn't there a number theory approach for that? |

| 2026-02-24 23:24:58 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | and I'm not sure where even that 0.30s comes from; it takes less than 1ms on that input on my machine |

| 2026-02-24 23:23:28 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | it's a fun problem :) |
| 2026-02-24 23:23:02 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | (I figured out a way to compute what numbers to print in constant time; then I just have to print all those numbers) |
| 2026-02-24 23:21:16 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | lantti: I'm not sure what you did, but it can probably be done more efficiently; this is haskell with `putStrLn . unwords . map show` https://tomsmeding.com/ss/get/tomsmeding/RnFf4z |

| 2026-02-24 23:13:01 +0100 | <mauke> | 1 + 2 = 3 |

| 2026-02-24 23:04:44 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | (there is, but figuring out what the splitting is, requires a little trick) |

| 2026-02-24 23:04:25 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | ijouw: do you have a proof that if sum [1..n] is even, there is such a splitting? |

| 2026-02-24 23:03:59 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <ijouw> Isn't the two sets algorithm discussed above easy to compute? The question is whether the sum [1..n] is even (solvable in constant time) (or am I missing something?). Printing could indeed be slowest part. |

| 2026-02-24 22:57:44 +0100 | <EvanR> | repl is overrated, you want to load a file anyway. Then reload |
| 2026-02-24 22:57:07 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | that's probably easiest, yes (use ghcup) |
| 2026-02-24 22:56:55 +0100 | <Guest81> | So i need ghci. Thanks all. |
| 2026-02-24 22:55:48 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | ghci does quite a bit more than just an interpreter for basic expressions, and "learn you a haskell" assumes ghci |
| 2026-02-24 22:55:46 +0100 | <mauke> | a = [1,2,3] is not an expression |
| 2026-02-24 22:55:35 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | it is an interpreter, but not ghci |
| 2026-02-24 22:55:12 +0100 | ChaiTRex | (~ChaiTRex@user/chaitrex) ChaiTRex |
| 2026-02-24 22:55:10 +0100 | <Guest81> | OK so basically "Try it!" is not a true interpreter. |
