→Common Lisp Implementation
Line 191:
# Your code, once made compile with SBCL (change that <code>do (...) ()</code> to <code>do (...) (nil)</code>, does exactly the samething mathematically: raise a power of a base repeately, until either it splits the square of n with the right sum, or it's too large. Except you are doing it in a convoluted way, using non-integer methods on integers, and ends up with something literally 100 times slower then my edit you reverted (on SBCL that is, I don't know about your antique lisp machine).
# You had one good idea of checking congruence, and a whole lot of terrible ones: being thoughtless in dealing with datatypes (<code>pow</code> and <code>log</code> on integers in C++, <code>/</code> and <code>floor</code> in Lisp); being sloppy in performance tuning (your "v.fast" C++ code isn't all that fast); being vengeful (<code>paddy_cnt</code>?); being narcissistic (own name as variable?); being inconsiderate to code readers (what kind of person posts unindented Lisp?); and generally being an all-around dick.
::Thank you for admiring me as the most beautiful youth in the world! In this section I have detected ehoes of Echo 'twix you and your Acolyte, but as in the myth I must reject your sexual advances. I think it is going to take more than me seeing my own reflection to appreciate the inner goodness of either of you two clowns.--[[User:Nigel Galloway|Nigel Galloway]] 13:32, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
# Your sarcasm in the lisp code was neither subtle nor funny. You give British humor a bad name.
