Problem 16 Project Euler Solution with Python

Power digit sum

215 = 32768 and the sum of its digits is 3 + 2 + 7 + 6 + 8 = 26.
What is the sum of the digits of the number 21000?

Again a very simple and direct problem, if you were to solve it using python. I am not going to explain any algorithm because, in this program we have just used inbuilt python functions and have got the result.

Program

The program is as follows:
#http://radiusofcircle.blogspot.com
#time module for calculating execution time
import time
#Time at the start of execution
start = time.time()
#converting each and every digit to list
a = list(str(2**1000))
#converting every element in a list from
#str to int
a = [int(x) for x in a]
#Power Digit Sum
pds = sum(a)
#Printing the output
print 'Power digit sum of 2**1000 is: '+str(pds)
#time at the end of execution
end = time.time()
#printing the time of execution
print end-start

All the code is well commented and I am assuming that you can understand it.
If you want to download this program you can download it from Github Gist.

Summary

This problem was pretty easy to solve. This problem just involved brushing up of our concepts in the python programming language.

 The code is well commented and so I have not explained any snippet of the code. But if you have any doubt or didn't understand anything then please do comment in the comment box below and I will be glad to help you.

 Please do comment if I have made any typo or if you have a better/different solution other than the one stated above. Feel free to ask me anything related.

 You can also contact me if you want to.

 Thank you. Have a nice day😃.

Add/Embed SVG to Blogger website

In this post I will tell you my method(trick) of adding SVG images in a blogger website or blog. Before starting , the first thin g I am assu m ing is that you are aware of SVG if you are here. If not please see S calable V ec tor G raphics Recently when I tried to embed a SVG image for a post on pygal, I tried uploading the SVG file and blogger Image uploader came up with an error, because of which I had to find some other way.  SVG File upload Error in Blogger  I started sea rc hing Google " Embed SVG in Blogger " . I found blogorrhea , w h ich gave some i nformatio n on add ing SVG directly as a markup , which worked , but I faced another problem using this . Also th is guy has used lot of Javascript which was confusin g for me, being new to using SVG.   So I first t houg ht of learning on h ow to embed SVG in HTML and t his on e worked out. Actually we can embed SVG in HTML i n following ways: Using Object tag Using Iframe tag Using embed...

Problem 60 Project Euler Solution with python

Prime pair sets The primes 3, 7, 109, and 673, are quite remarkable. By taking any two primes and concatenating them in any order the result will always be prime. For example, taking 7 and 109, both 7109 and 1097 are prime. The sum of these four primes, 792, represents the lowest sum for a set of four primes with this property. Find the lowest sum for a set of five primes for which any two primes concatenate to produce another prime. This problem is j u st a brute force problem. If you have come here because you don't know the limit upto which you will h ave to gener ate the prime numbers t hen go ahe ad and t r y with 10,000 . When I first start ed solving the problem I chose 1 million(beca use most of the problem s on project E uler have this limit ), but it took very long for the computer to fin d the solution. After searching on the internet then I found many people choosing 10, 000 so I have changed my in put f rom 1 million to 10000 and the output was f ast. He...

Making a quiz web app with python and flask

Edit : When you are creating a web app with h tml templates, then y ou will have to sa ve the html file in templates folder in the Current Wor ki ng Directory( CWD). If you save the file in the C W D directl y you will get a TemplateNotFound error. Thank you Udhay for pointing it out.   In this post we will create a quiz website using python . I will be using the flask framework . After reading this tutorial you will learn form submission , flask templates , python code in flask templates , shuffling the questions and options with the random module and few others.  Please note that this tutorial is not big as it seems to be. Some of the code has been rewritten to maintain consistency and also font size is somewhat big so that your eyes won't get stressed reading this tutorial. Also the content has not occupied the full width of the page. In this tutorial I am assuming that you are having a very basic understanding of the flask framework . Please refer the documenta...
