Tumblr backup

Exercise in Python and threads. Small script to create Tumblr blog backups. For now it just downloads all photo posts of a given blog (primary reason for this script to appear). Later maybe I will extend it to other types of posts.

Number 123456 again

And prize for the best usage of GMP goes to Bigloo Scheme.

	(module fact)
	(define *num-list* '(1 12 123 1234 12345 123456))
	(define (factorial n)
	(define (iter k acc)
	(if (= k 1)
	acc
	(iter (- k 1) (* k acc))))
	(iter n 1))
	(define (dfactorial n)
	(do ((r 1)
	(i 1 (+ i 1)))
	((= i n) r)
	(set! r (* r i))))
	(define (sum-digits n)
	(reduce + 0 (map
	(lambda (c) (- (char->integer c) (char->integer #\0)))
	(string->list (number->string n)))))
	;; Taken from example of time function in Bigloo reference
	(multiple-value-bind (res rtime stime utime)
	(time
	(lambda ()
	(reduce + 0 (map sum-digits (map factorial *num-list*)))))
	(print "Recursive factorial: " (* 0.001 rtime) " sec "))
	(multiple-value-bind (res rtime stime utime)
	(time
	(lambda ()
	(reduce + 0 (map sum-digits (map dfactorial *num-list*)))))
	(print "Iterative factorial: " (* 0.001 rtime) " sec "))

Recursive factorial: 4.44 sec
Iterative factorial: 3.96 sec
It has only factor of 2 compared to C version.
