numbers. The algorithm is naive and should be implemented the same regardless of

the language.

History

-------

When starting to learn Lua, I wrote a simple program to excersize the table data

structure. But I had difficulties expressing what I wanted so I first wrote the

program in Python. After I had the program written in both languages I did the

obvious thing, I timed them. From there on Barak implemented the program in PHP

and we implemented it in C. We hope to have many more languages tested.
