[plt-scheme] Project Euler #4 solution refactor?
Hi folks,
For project euler #4:
http://projecteuler.net/index.php?section=problems&id=4
I've got a solution and I'm wondering if it can be refactored?
It works, and it makes sense, but it is sort of tricky/ugly to read in
that it logically has an inner and outer loop.
(define psum
(λ ()
(let ([top 999] [bot 1])
(let loop ([x top] [y top] [max 0])
(let* ([prod (* x y)]
[str (number->string prod)]
[ispal (string=? str (srfi13:string-reverse str))]
[newmax (if (and ispal (> prod max)) prod max)])
(cond [(> newmax (* x x)) newmax]
[(= x y bot) newmax]
[(> y bot) (loop x (sub1 y) newmax)]
[else (loop (sub1 x) top newmax)]))))))
