Thank you

Valentin Metz · Answer

Didn t notice I can just use Javas String formatter D

deactivateduser · Answer

best of both worlds smiley

Valentin Metz · Answer

Apparently ```d = kotlin ULong``` Any idea what I d use for unsigned longs

Valentin Metz · Answer

So apparently ULong can t print with d It also doesn t have a toBigInteger So I need to ```number toString toBigInteger ```

Valentin Metz · Answer

Works but seems rather inefficient ``` print String format $ range toString length d gt $ ULong MAX VALUE toString length d t| t $ range toString length d d n number toString toBigInteger result toString toBigInteger counter getAndIncrement range ```

deactivateduser · Answer

Not sure if there is equivalent formatting for ulong as Java doesn t have unsigned type I used to use ` ul` in C but it apparently not working here Probably other folks here know about it You could probably just use s instead of d hence `number toString ` is enough so there is no further conversion to big integer

deactivateduser · Answer

for the format string probably if its possible can be extracted out as another variable to reduce the string interpolation processing in every repetition

Valentin Metz · Answer

Yeah in C C++ I d trust the compiler to get this but in Java I wouldn t be sure about it

Valentin Metz · Answer

On the other hand even doing this one million times wouldn t affect the runtime of the program much

deactivateduser · Answer

Sure if that s fine by you The programmer decides wink

Valentin Metz · Answer

In C I d use a global for this But I guess here I d have no other choice than passing the variable at the function call
