speed-test

This repository contains a handful of different speed tests and preformance tests for a number of different programming languages. The purpose is to compare Scope with a number of other programming languages, and to see which is the fastest in different scenarios. None of the tests are 100% optimized/efficient, and all aim to have the most generic code without the use of libraries to provide a similar experience for all programming languages.

All of the tests below were ran on the following machine:

Test results may differ on a different machines.

Primes

Prints the 10,000th prime number (which is 104,729).

Pseudo code:

isPrime(n) {
    i = 2
    while (i < n) {
        if (n % i == 0) {
            ret false
        }
        i++
    }
    ret true
}

main() {
    n = 0
    p = 0
    while (p <= 10,000) {
        n++
        if (isPrime(n)) {
            p++
        }
    }
    
    println(n as string)
}
