[Coco] Project Euler and the Coco

[John]

At the risk of replying to a slightly older thread:

Wouldn't this code actually run slower because os the precalc in line 20?
An extra variable (A2) gets created only to be used one time - seems to me
it would be fractionally faster if that step was eliminated and A*A was
computed, used and discarded after line 40...

Even faster in BASIC...

10 FOR A=2 TO 333
20 A2=A*A; C=500
30 FOR B=500-A TO (1000-A)/2
40 IF A2+B*B=C*C THEN 100
50 C=C-1
60 NEXT B,A
100 ' print result
