I have written the code for this problem but I can’t understand why my code is slow.I have written on java , and to calculate the prime numbers I used sieve Of Eratosthenes and saved all the prime numbers in a HashMap.Please forgive my english.
static void dri(int n) {
long large=0;int r=0,x,count=0,p,count1=0;
x=(int)Math.sqrt(n);
//To understand why I calculated x let's take an example
//let n=530 sqrt(530) is 23 so for all the numbers greater than 23 when
//we square them they will come out to be greater than n.I think you get
//what I'm trying to explain
while(r<x) {
r = map.get(++count); // Prime numbers will be stored in r
int exp = (int) (Math.log(n) / Math.log(r));
//I'm trying to calculate the x in r^x=n.
if (exp != 1) { //This is just to resolve an error dont mind this line
if (map.containsValue(exp) == false) {
count1 = exp;
while (!map.containsValue(--count1)) ;
//As I need a^b where a and b are prime so I have to
calculate the nearest prime number to exp
exp = count1;
}
int temp = (int) Math.pow(r, exp);
if (large < temp)
large = temp;
}
}
System.out.println(large);
}
