Project euler is great fun and I used it to learn Erlang. For problem 3, I recommend that you read about trial division (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_division" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_division</a>) which is the easiest to understand integer factorization algorithm. Good luck with the problem. Regards, Jannich Hi Søren.

But with your line of hobbies that shouldn't be a problem. Though if you were a bit awake, you'd notice that I already told you about <a href="http://jesperjarlskov.dk/blog/project-euler/" rel="nofollow">Project Euler</a> last september :-) Jesper Hey

Also, let me recommand you to try to code in Scheme or Lisp, once you get used to the specificity of those languages, they're really nice for writing basic algorithms (but not very efficient in terms of performances :p).

I like to use them when coming up to speed in a new language. The only problem is that no solutions are on the site. It's more of a practice set - figure it out, then come back some time later and figure it out again, with any new knowledge you've gained. I like Code Kata (http://codekata.pragprog.com/)

I don't remember if you can submit solutions in java though.
