Re: A small programming challenge

Hi Dimitre,
  I am keen to solve this problem. But I have a doubt
.. Do you have a algorithm for this(If yes, please
share it), which I'll implement with XSLT 2.0 ? Or we
have to also invent a algorithm for this..

Regards,
Mukul

Hi,

I just started reading the book "The Da Vinci code"
and this resulted
in having some fun with XSLT 2.0, Saxon 8.4 and
Saxon.NET.

Here's the problem:

    Find the first 10-digit prime in consecutive
digits of F-3000                                              
      
    Where F-N is the Nth Fibonacci number.
    Here are the elements of the sequence of
Fibonacci numbers from 0 to 11:
                                                    
                       
    Element:    1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55,
89, 144                   
    Index:         0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,   6,   7,  8,  
9,   10,  11
                                                    
                       

It is *very important* to note that the first "1" in
the sequence has
index "0", so that everyone will mean the same thing
by F-3000
 
When you have the answer, please, let me know:

  1. The 10 digit prime number
  2. The xslt code
  3. The stylesheet execution time.
  4. Your computer -- CPU speed and RAM
  5. Whether or not you used any specific extension
functions.
 

Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev.
