🚀 Mark 100: Project Euler in C by Advaith "GeneralMing" Vasisht

Welcome to Mark 100—your one-stop showcase of elegant, efficient, and (sometimes eccentric) C solutions to Project Euler problems. I’m Advaith Krishna Vasisht, a.k.a GeneralMing, tinkering my way through math, logic, and performance.

🎯 What’s Inside

• 100+ Project Euler challenges solved in crisp, organized C files:

  • Format: p001.c, p002.c, … up through triple digits.
  • Each file prints both the correct answer and (if measured) execution time.

• Straightforward, highly-commented C code:

  • Step-by-step breakdowns of the math behind each solution.
  • Performance notes: “took X milliseconds on my Intel i5-7th Gen.”

• Read-optimizable structure:

  • Simple Makefile ready for make pNNN.
  • Use-case: compile enough or all — make all.

🛠️ Build & Run

git clone https://github.com/GeneralMing/project_euler_solutions_in_C.git
cd project_euler_solutions_in_C
make p042       # build and run problem #42
make all        # compile & run everything

Each program outputs the problem number, answer, and runtime. For example:

Problem 042: 162
Time taken: 0.0012 seconds

🎓 Why This Repo?

• Perfect for learners: Clear C implementations demystifying algorithms from primes and factorials to dynamic programming and recursion.
• Speed buffs rejoice: Easily spot performance bottlenecks and improve with better structures, faster libraries, or threading hacks.
• Fun math + coding combo: Explore elegant number tricks and real-world code execution—balanced brain-stretching between theory and practice.

⚙️ Typical Workflow

1. Select a target: “I want to solve Euler #125 today.”
2. Try it on your own—for fun!
3. Compare your approach with the existing p125.c.
4. Benchmark: “How fast is your prime-sieve versus mine?”
5. Propose improvements or a cleaner math insight? Open a PR! 💡
