Just new to Ruby since last week, running my same functional program on the windows XP(Pentium M1.5G), the Ruby version is 10 times slower than the Java version. The program is to find the prime numbers like 2, 3,5, 7, 11, 13... Are there setup issues? or it is normal?
1. Ruby result: 101 seconds
2. Java result:9.8 seconds
3. Perl result:62 seconds
Ruby:
def is_prime(number)
for i in 2..(number-1)
if number%i==0 then return false
end
end
return true
