Nope :-) Not faster than using imperative. I will execute some performance tests in this code against the original one, wrote with two for's I guess. I'll post the results here

No, not with two loops or whatever. That's (almost) surely going to be worse. A hint here: what about not even taking the time to process the numbers that you know that won't be multiples of 3 or 5 anyway? OK, I guess that this is more than a simple hint... :)

Hmm, I will think about it tomorrow morning (that's when my brain works better :), here's the link to the original post about this problem with the source code and for's: http://www.loiane.com/2011/10/project-euler-problema-1/

BTW, perhaps what you meant is what another user commented on the blog entry I just sent to you...

0 -> 1000

What about this one: https://gist.github.com/1331277 ?

It has some features that the other solutions don't:

• it does only one pass through 0..1000 (or 1..1000, whatever you prefer).
• it does not use any kind of division (which is expensive), either explicit or implicit (via mod).
• it only considers the numbers that we know for sure that are multiples of 3 or of 5.

I initialized both candidates to be included in the sum with 0, but I could have just similarly have initialized them to 3 and 5, but this doesn't buy us anything good (one iteration of the body of a loop that is way lighter right now).

Comments?

Damn!!! That's neat!
