Project Euler Forum

You couldn't have explained it clearer.

Dear hk

Sorry for asking again... . I did now with the calculation (add the subsums and subtract the duplicate sum) and entered that to the website with the question. I still have not a correct result and I do not know why. The value for <35 was correct - can you give me another checkpoint, where you can say, that this value is correct please?

The other question is, how can I post a value? It is recommended not to publish code or results because of others doing the same. I agree to that, but how can I come closer to the solution. I need your check. When I add an attachment - is it free for all forum users?

Thanks again.
Cheers
Alex

ADDENDUM:
I managed to resolve it and I have done my first question! Now, I will move to the second question! Thanks for your help, will write again, when I have other questions.

You could PM me your values for sum1,sum2 and sum3 if you see what I mean.
I hope to be able to find out from these three values what went wrong.

Edit:
Congratz.

I'm very new in the project Euler's society
when trying to submit the answer , should I submit the answer directly (i.e: 123) or submit the code ?

The answer

So I have just joined project euler and I am stuck on problem #1

I honestly am not sure what I am doing wrong and I have tried it multiple ways. I am sure its something basic.

I have already accounted for the 3 and the 5 multiples being the same and not counting those twice.

I know I cant post code so I am a bit lost as to how to ask for help with this as I do not have a particular problem. I am just stumped from my current position and not sure what exactly to try/do next.


I cant seem to delete this post, I will just edit it....

I Figured out the problem, nvm on needing help.

Feel free to PM me your code.

thank you for the offer but I figured it out right before I saw your post.

hello all , ok so im new to programming in c++ and i have recently joined euler which was recomended to me

I can take a look if you want.

[Edited by myself]

This problem can be solved using knowlege in arithmetic series.

995/5=199 and not 195.

Before you start giving detailed explanations for every problem you encounter, please read the box at the top of the page.
The idea is that you don't give spoilers here.

Sorry, this will not happen anymore.

I edited the post.

Hi! I am guessing this is where I post my problems. I am just 3 hours new to projecteuler.com. I tried the first problem in python but my answer is not being accepted. I did it by both code and paper and they seem to be right. I have the code ready. Can anyone help me in this matter?

If you send me your code in a pm I can look at it and give a hint.

Here's a possibility. Are you sure you're answering the question that's being asked? Reread the problem and the rest of this thread.

Hi,

I think result checking for Problem 1 doesn't work correct. Could someone confirm this please?

The answer checking works correctly.
There is already a thread for this problem where you will likely find clues as to why your answer was wrong:
viewtopic.php?f=50&t=2524

Thank you very much! I've found my mistake.

Please DO NOT post any solutions here.
