Line 17:
Knuth's power tree probably resembles addition-chain exponentiation as much as calculation of primes via ''trial division'' versus ''Sieve of Eratosthenes'', they have the same result, but with different strategies and complexity. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 17:49, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
: Ah, my mistake.
: Triggered, on re-reading, by an utter lack of description of the algorithm on the page itself, combined with [for me] unfamiliar (and unlinked) terms for familiar concepts (like "factor method" - technically all of these approaches are "factor methods" so without some definition the term winds up being ambiguous). And I don't have a copy of Knuth's book handy. I guess I am supposed to reverse engineer one of the linked implementations? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 18:13, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
