Hi,
I just started reading the book "The Da Vinci code" and this resulted
in having some fun with XSLT 2.0, Saxon 8.4 and Saxon.NET.
Here's the problem:
Find the first 10-digit prime in consecutive digits of F-3000
Where F-N is the Nth Fibonacci number.
Here are the elements of the sequence of Fibonacci numbers from 0 to 11:
Element: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144
Index: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
It is *very important* to note that the first "1" in the sequence has
index "0", so that everyone will mean the same thing by F-3000
When you have the answer, please, let me know:
1. The 10 digit prime number
2. The xslt code
3. The stylesheet execution time.
4. Your computer -- CPU speed and RAM
5. Whether or not you used any specific extension functions.
Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev.
