I coded up a program in C# to find perfect numbers within a certain range as part of a programming challenge . However, I realized it is very slow when calculating perfect numbers upwards of 10000. Are there any methods of optimization that exist for finding perfect numbers? My code is as follows:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
namespace ConsoleTest
{
class Program
{
public static List<int> FindDivisors(int inputNo)
{
List<int> Divisors = new List<int>();
for (int i = 1; i<inputNo; i++)
{
if (inputNo%i==0)
Divisors.Add(i);
}
return Divisors;
}
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
const int limit = 100000;
List<int> PerfectNumbers = new List<int>();
List<int> Divisors=new List<int>();
for (int i=1; i<limit; i++)
{
Divisors = FindDivisors(i);
if (i==Divisors.Sum())
PerfectNumbers.Add(i);
}
Console.Write("Output =");
for (int i=0; i<PerfectNumbers.Count; i++)
{
Console.Write(" {0} ",PerfectNumbers[i]);
}
Console.Write("\n\n\nPress any key to continue . . . ");
Console.ReadKey(true);
}
}
}
