(Benchmarks are different from tests because they are meant to actually calculate something instead of just exercising a language feature.) The current benchmarks are: -* `ackermann`: Print the value of `Ack(m, n)`, the [two-argument Ackermann–Péter function][ackermann]. -* `adj2csr`: Convert a graph in [adjacency matrix][adj] format (dense representation) to [Compressed Sparse Row (CSR)][csr] format (sparse representation). The random graph is generated using the same [linear congruential generator][rng]. -* `adler32`: Computes the [Adler-32 Checksum][adler32] of an integer array. -* `armstrong`: Determines if the input is an [Armstrong number][armstrong], a number that is the sum of its own digits each raised to the power of the number of digits. -* `binary-fmt`: Print the binary format for the given positive integer. -* `binary-search`: Search a target integer within an integer array, outputs the index of target. -* `bitwise-ops`: Computes the OR, AND, or XOR between two 64-bit integers. (Three modes: 0 = AND, 1 = OR, 2 = XOR) -* `bubblesort`: Sorting algorithm that works by repeatedly swapping the adjacent elements if they are in wrong order. -* `catalan`: Print the *n*th term in the [Catalan][catalan] sequence, compute using recursive function calls. -* `check-primes`: Check the first *n* natural numbers for primality, printing out a 1 if the number is prime and a 0 if it's not. -* `cholesky`: Perform Cholesky decomposition of a Hermitian and positive definite matrix. The result is validated by comparing with Python's `scipy.linalg.cholesky`. -* `collatz`: Print the [Collatz][collatz] sequence starting at *n*. Note: it is not known whether this will terminate for all *n*. -* `cordic`: Print an approximation of sine(radians) using 8 iterations of the [CORDIC algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CORDIC). -* `digial-root`: Computes the digital root of the input number. -* `eight-queens`: Counts the number of solutions for *n* queens problem, a generalization of [Eight queens puzzle][eight_queens]. -* `euclid`: Calculates the greatest common divisor between two large numbers using the [Euclidean Algorithm][euclid] with a helper function for the modulo operator. -* `fact`: Prints the factorial of *n*, computing it recursively. -* `factors`: Print the factors of the *n* using the [trial division][trialdivision] method. -* `fib`: Calculate the *n*th Fibonacci number by allocating and filling an [array](../lang/memory.md) of numbers up to that point. -* `fizz-buzz`: The infamous [programming test][fizzbuzz]. -* `function_call`: For benchmarking the overhead of simple function calls. -* `gcd`: Calculate Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of two input positive integer using [Euclidean algorithm][euclidean_into]. -* `loopfact`: Compute *n!* imperatively using a loop. -* `mandelbrot`: Generates a really low resolution, ascii, [mandelbrot set][mandelbrot]. -* `mat-inv` : Calculates the inverse of a 3x3 matrix and prints it out. -* `mat-mul`: Multiplies two `nxn` matrices using the [naive][matmul] matrix multiplication algorithm. The matrices are randomly generated using a [linear congruential generator][rng]. -* `max-subarray`: solution to the classic Maximum Subarray problem. -* `newton`: Calculate the square root of 99,999 using the [newton method][newton] -* `n_root`: Calculate nth root of a float using newton's method. -* `orders`: Compute the order ord(u) for each u in a cyclic group [][cgroup] of integers modulo *n* under the group operation + (modulo *n*). Set the second argument *is_lcm* to true if you would like to compute the orders using the lowest common multiple and otherwise the program will use the greatest common divisor. -* `pascals-row`: Computes a row in Pascal's Triangle. -* `perfect`: Check if input argument is a perfect number. Returns output as Unix style return code. -* `pow`: Computes the n^th power of a given (float) number. -* `primes-between`: Print the primes in the interval `[a, b]`. -* `pythagorean_triple`: Prints all Pythagorean triples with the given c, if such triples exist. An intentionally very naive implementation. -* `quadratic`: The [quadratic formula][qf], including a hand-rolled implementation of square root. -* `recfact`: Compute *n!* using recursive function calls. -* `rectangles-area-difference`: Output the difference between the areas of rectangles (as a positive value) given their respective side lengths. -* `relative-primes`: Print all numbers relatively prime to *n* using [Euclidean algorithm][euclidean_into]. -* `riemann`: Prints the left, midpoint, and right [Riemann][riemann] Sums for a specified function, which is the square function in this benchmark. -* `sieve`: Print all prime numbers up to *n* using the [Sieve of Eratosthenes][sievee]. -* `sqrt`: Implements the [Newton–Raphson Method][newton] of approximating the square root of a number to arbitrary precision -* `sum-bit`: Print the number of 1-bits in the binary representation of the input integer. -* `sum-divisors`: Prints the positive integer divisors of the input integer, followed by the sum of the divisors. -* `sum-sq-diff`: Output the difference between the sum of the squares of the first *n* natural numbers and the square of their sum. -* `up-arrow`: Computes [Knuth's up arrow][uparrow] notation, with the first argument being the number, the second argument being the number of Knuth's up arrows, and the third argument being the number of repeats. +- `ackermann`: Print the value of `Ack(m, n)`, the [two-argument Ackermann–Péter function][ackermann]. +- `adj2csr`: Convert a graph in [adjacency matrix][adj] format (dense representation) to [Compressed Sparse Row (CSR)][csr] format (sparse representation).
