Get; Set;

Project Euler 7: 10,001 prime number (Java)

This one is interesting, if you think about it.. question is if there is a formula? Well..

No such formula which is efficiently computable is known. A number of constraints...

Project Euler 6: sums and squares (Java)

It's been fun, these puzzles are a good way to get a quick intro into Java. There are definitely some minor differences, but for the most part navigating the IDE and not having my shortcuts be the same has been the largest...
