Complex math in JavaScript

[Michael Egbert]

Do you guys know of any javascript interpreter capable of going through trillions of loops?   I'm working on the 3rd euler problem and I have the right code, it's just that it crashes chrome when I enter large numbers.

Hmm... but why is it crashing. Memory? Too long of a computation (some browsers have hard limits on the amount of instructions you can run while blocking the UI)? Bug in the runtime? You could enter a huge number and try to take a profile snapshot after it runs for awhile just to see.

Try running your script in a web worker. Maybe try node.js.

Without the conditional breaks and continues to ease up on performance this function would loop through 600 billion squared steps.   I guess I should find a different algorithm, heh

how about a prime sieve?
