Project Euler

“I did some Project Euler, which was the cooler predecessor. It was a fun”

“I ended up solving most of them with math and so little programming.”

“half the problems can be optimized to return 5 # because math”

“the algorithms given are not explained in detail, so the learning experience is somewhat mediocre”

“there are plenty interesting enough questions which it at least helps”

“Find problems to solve with code, and write code to solve those problems.”

“I have only had some previous experience with Project Euler, which I liked for the loop of”

“You get to see not just how you solved the problem, but how others saw and tackled it.”

“I spent a lot of time on it, and learned a considerable amount of theory and hacks.”

“after that they take more and more time and require deeper mathematical knowledge”

“Imagine the relief I felt when both of these questions where from the ones that I solved on Project Euler”

“Thousand of hours on this. Love it.”

“Project Euler spurred my love for math and programming when I was 15”

“The leetcode before leetcode. Hail.”

“most of the problems are so compact that you can just read about the full problem, then spend hours and days thinking about possible solutions”

“There's an excellent core development team that works with problem-submitters to get problems tuned up for Project Euler.”

“I'm so happy to have spent twenty years of my life learning math and solving problems on Project Euler”

“I remember there were data loss, but my account appears to have been recovered.”

“The biggest thing I learned from PE was that neither elegant theory nor brute force had a monopoly on successful optimization strategies.”

“So much more fun than leetcode. OTOH, unlikely to help you in an interview.”

“No one tells you that they delete inactive accounts.”

“I learned so much from this site- including that so much education comes from being prompted to ask the right questions.”

“This was my great procrastination side quest during grad school.”

“it solidified for me my interest in CS but in general abstract thinking and problem solving”

“It was a great way to learn a bit of number theory and regain my interest in programming.”

“Solving these were more fun than any other programming problems site I've seen.”

“These are both a lot more fun, and a lot more educational than leetcode problems.”

“I too owe had my love for programming captured through project Euler”

“a great way to learn a new programming language is to try project Euler problems with it”

“I love running euler problems when trying to learn the basics of a new programming language”

“It was a fun puzzle but you had to be awake at a funky time to do it.”

“I'm glad to see artifacts from the past like this are still out there on the internet.”

“this is what my professors recommended for training programming skills”

“instilling the playful enjoyment of writing programs in college”

“The most fun on this site is solving a problem and then having your mind blown by solutions”

“I loved how solving a problem unlocks a secret forum only available to other solvers.”

“Project Euler was foundational in my education and growth as a programmer.”

“the website was a big contributor to my love of programming”

“Google + Project Euler was how I learned to code”

“there are no hints or information on how to approach the problem”
