问题3:你能给我一些如何优化这些实现的提示吗 而不改变我确定因子的方法?任意优化 方法:更好、更快、更“地道”的语言。

C实现是次优的(正如Thomas M. DuBuisson所暗示的那样)，该版本使用64位整数(即长数据类型)。稍后我将研究程序集清单，但根据合理的猜测，在编译后的代码中进行了一些内存访问，这使得使用64位整数明显变慢。或者是生成的代码(比如在SSE寄存器中可以容纳更少的64位整数，或者将双精度整数舍入为64位整数更慢)。

下面是修改后的代码(简单地用int替换long，我显式内联factorCount，尽管我不认为这是gcc -O3所必需的):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

static inline int factorCount(int n)
{
    double square = sqrt (n);
    int isquare = (int)square;
    int count = isquare == square ? -1 : 0;
    int candidate;
    for (candidate = 1; candidate <= isquare; candidate ++)
        if (0 == n % candidate) count += 2;
    return count;
}

int main ()
{
    int triangle = 1;
    int index = 1;
    while (factorCount (triangle) < 1001)
    {
        index++;
        triangle += index;
    }
    printf ("%d\n", triangle);
}

运行+计时它给出:

$ gcc -O3 -lm -o euler12 euler12.c; time ./euler12
842161320
./euler12  2.95s user 0.00s system 99% cpu 2.956 total

作为参考，Thomas在前面的回答中给出了haskell实现:

$ ghc -O2 -fllvm -fforce-recomp euler12.hs; time ./euler12                                                                                      [9:40]
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( euler12.hs, euler12.o )
Linking euler12 ...
842161320
./euler12  9.43s user 0.13s system 99% cpu 9.602 total

结论:ghc是一个很棒的编译器，但gcc通常会生成更快的代码。

使用Haskell，您真的不需要显式地考虑递归。

factorCount number = foldr factorCount' 0 [1..isquare] -
                     (fromEnum $ square == fromIntegral isquare)
    where
      square = sqrt $ fromIntegral number
      isquare = floor square
      factorCount' candidate
        | number `rem` candidate == 0 = (2 +)
        | otherwise = id

triangles :: [Int]
triangles = scanl1 (+) [1,2..]

main = print . head $ dropWhile ((< 1001) . factorCount) triangles

在上面的代码中，我用普通的列表操作替换了@Thomas回答中的显式递归。代码仍然做着完全相同的事情，而不需要我们担心尾部递归。它运行(~ 7.49秒)比@Thomas回答的版本(~ 7.04秒)在我的机器上运行GHC 7.6.2，而来自@Raedwulf的C版本运行~ 3.15秒。GHC似乎在过去一年中有所改善。

PS:我知道这是一个老问题，我从谷歌搜索中偶然发现了它(我忘了我在搜索什么了，现在…)只是想评论一下关于LCO的问题，并表达我对Haskell的总体感受。我想对上面的答案进行注释，但是注释不允许代码块。

I made the assumption that the number of factors is only large if the numbers involved have many small factors. So I used thaumkid's excellent algorithm, but first used an approximation to the factor count that is never too small. It's quite simple: Check for prime factors up to 29, then check the remaining number and calculate an upper bound for the nmber of factors. Use this to calculate an upper bound for the number of factors, and if that number is high enough, calculate the exact number of factors.

下面的代码不需要这个假设来保证正确性，但是为了快速。这似乎很有效;只有大约十万分之一的数字给出了足够高的估计，需要进行全面检查。

代码如下:

// Return at least the number of factors of n.
static uint64_t approxfactorcount (uint64_t n)
{
    uint64_t count = 1, add;

#define CHECK(d)                            \
    do {                                    \
        if (n % d == 0) {                   \
            add = count;                    \
            do { n /= d; count += add; }    \
            while (n % d == 0);             \
        }                                   \
    } while (0)

    CHECK ( 2); CHECK ( 3); CHECK ( 5); CHECK ( 7); CHECK (11); CHECK (13);
    CHECK (17); CHECK (19); CHECK (23); CHECK (29);
    if (n == 1) return count;
    if (n < 1ull * 31 * 31) return count * 2;
    if (n < 1ull * 31 * 31 * 37) return count * 4;
    if (n < 1ull * 31 * 31 * 37 * 37) return count * 8;
    if (n < 1ull * 31 * 31 * 37 * 37 * 41) return count * 16;

    if (n < 1ull * 31 * 31 * 37 * 37 * 41 * 43 * 47 * 53) return count * 128;
    if (n < 1ull * 31 * 31 * 37 * 37 * 41 * 43 * 47 * 53 * 59) return count * 256;
    if (n < 1ull * 31 * 31 * 37 * 37 * 41 * 43 * 47 * 53 * 59 * 61) return count * 512;
    if (n < 1ull * 31 * 31 * 37 * 37 * 41 * 43 * 47 * 53 * 59 * 61 * 67) return count * 1024;
    if (n < 1ull * 31 * 31 * 37 * 37 * 41 * 43 * 47 * 53 * 59 * 61 * 67 * 71) return count * 2048;
    if (n < 1ull * 31 * 31 * 37 * 37 * 41 * 43 * 47 * 53 * 59 * 61 * 67 * 71 * 73) return count * 4096;
    return count * 1000000;
}

// Return the number of factors of n.
static uint64_t factorcount (uint64_t n)

    uint64_t count = 1, add;

    uint64_t count2 = 1, factor2 = 1;

    for (uint64_t n = 1; n <= limit; ++n)
    {
        factor1 = factor2;
        count1 = count2;

        factor2 = n + 1; if (factor2 % 2 == 0) factor2 /= 2;
        count2 = approxfactorcount (factor2);

        if (count1 * count2 > record)
        {
            uint64_t factors = factorcount (factor1) * factorcount (factor2);
            if (factors > record)
            {
                printf ("%lluth triangular number = %llu has %llu factors\n", n, factor1 * factor2, factors);

Erlang实现存在一些问题。作为下面的基准，我测量的未修改的Erlang程序的执行时间为47.6秒，而C代码的执行时间为12.7秒。

(编辑:在Erlang/OTP版本24,2021年，Erlang有一个自动JIT编译器，旧的+本机编译器选项不再支持或需要。我保留下面这段文字作为历史文件。关于export_all的注释对于jit生成良好代码的能力仍然是有效的。)

The first thing you should do if you want to run computationally intensive Erlang code is to use native code. Compiling with erlc +native euler12 got the time down to 41.3 seconds. This is however a much lower speedup (just 15%) than expected from native compilation on this kind of code, and the problem is your use of -compile(export_all). This is useful for experimentation, but the fact that all functions are potentially reachable from the outside causes the native compiler to be very conservative. (The normal BEAM emulator is not that much affected.) Replacing this declaration with -export([solve/0]). gives a much better speedup: 31.5 seconds (almost 35% from the baseline).

但是代码本身有一个问题:对于factorCount循环中的每一次迭代，都要执行以下测试:

factorCount (_, Sqrt, Candidate, Count) when Candidate == Sqrt -> Count + 1;

C代码不这样做。一般来说，在相同代码的不同实现之间进行公平的比较是很棘手的，特别是如果算法是数值的，因为您需要确保它们实际上在做相同的事情。在某个实现中由于某个类型转换而产生的轻微舍入错误可能会导致它比另一个实现进行更多的迭代，即使两者最终得到相同的结果。

为了消除这个可能的错误源(并在每次迭代中摆脱额外的测试)，我重写了factorCount函数，如下所示，密切模仿C代码:

factorCount (N) ->
    Sqrt = math:sqrt (N),
    ISqrt = trunc(Sqrt),
    if ISqrt == Sqrt -> factorCount (N, ISqrt, 1, -1);
       true          -> factorCount (N, ISqrt, 1, 0)
    end.

factorCount (_N, ISqrt, Candidate, Count) when Candidate > ISqrt -> Count;
factorCount ( N, ISqrt, Candidate, Count) ->
    case N rem Candidate of
        0 -> factorCount (N, ISqrt, Candidate + 1, Count + 2);
        _ -> factorCount (N, ISqrt, Candidate + 1, Count)
    end.

这个重写，没有export_all和本机编译，给了我以下运行时:

$ erlc +native euler12.erl
$ time erl -noshell -s euler12 solve
842161320

real    0m19.468s
user    0m19.450s
sys 0m0.010s

这与C代码相比不算太糟:

$ time ./a.out 
842161320

real    0m12.755s
user    0m12.730s
sys 0m0.020s

考虑到Erlang完全不适合编写数字代码，在这样的程序中只比C慢50%就已经很不错了。

最后，关于你的问题:

问题1:erlang、python和haskell是否会因为使用任意长度的整数而降低速度 只要值小于MAXINT，它们不就行了吗?

Yes, somewhat. In Erlang, there is no way of saying "use 32/64-bit arithmetic with wrap-around", so unless the compiler can prove some bounds on your integers (and it usually can't), it must check all computations to see if they can fit in a single tagged word or if it has to turn them into heap-allocated bignums. Even if no bignums are ever used in practice at runtime, these checks will have to be performed. On the other hand, that means you know that the algorithm will never fail because of an unexpected integer wraparound if you suddenly give it larger inputs than before.

问题4:我的函数实现是否允许LCO，从而避免在调用堆栈中添加不必要的帧?

是的，您的Erlang代码在最后调用优化方面是正确的。

尝试:

package main

import "fmt"
import "math"

func main() {
    var n, m, c int
    for i := 1; ; i++ {
        n, m, c = i * (i + 1) / 2, int(math.Sqrt(float64(n))), 0
        for f := 1; f < m; f++ {
            if n % f == 0 { c++ }
    }
    c *= 2
    if m * m == n { c ++ }
    if c > 1001 {
        fmt.Println(n)
        break
        }
    }
