Second project Euler problem solved

This takes advantage of the fact that every third Fibonacci number is even in order to avoid having to check for each number f it is even.

a=1
b=1
c=2
x=0
while c < 4000000:
    x=x+c
    a=b+c
    b=a+c
    c=a+b
print x

First Project Euler problem solved!

Well, the first problem was easy enough, at least after I managed to get my for loop working.

This is the python script I ended up with:

x=0
for i in range(1, 1000):
    if i % 3 == 0 or i % 5 == 0:
    x=x+i
print x

Project Euler problems

I though it might be nice to have some understanding of another programming language. After thinking about it for a little while, I decided on Python. So now I had the problem of trying to learn it. After a bit of searching, I came across Project Euler, which has a set of maths problems to solve by writing programs to solve them. It seems like a great way to get into programming.

I've just downloaded Python, so we'll see how long it takes to get that installed and to write the solution for the first problem.
