Articles about Linux and hardware performance will follow in fall 2011.

My roadmap for 2011 contains the following thinks:

• get inside of the MySQL core
• passing the Zend Certificate Engineer Program
• writing a couple of extensions for PHP
• release a WordPress+Performance alternative called Speedpress
• continue the development of the PHP-search engine, Theta8 and a few more

If you have any questions or suggestions, don’t hesitate to contact me. I’d like to stay in touch with ambitious people, to talk about innovative ideas and visions.

Params

int n := position of the numeral in the number

int d := numeral

return := p(d) at position n

Example

1337 -> 1. benford(1,1) -> 2. benford(2,3) -> benford(3,3) -> benford(4,7)

Benford’s Law with summation formula

float benford10(int n, int d){

float j = pow(10, n – 1), s = 0, i;

for(i = floor(pow(10, (n – 2))); i <= j – 1; i++)

s += log10(1 + (1 / ((i * 10) + d)));

return s;

}

Benford’s Law with product formula

float benford10(int n, int d){

float j = pow(10, n – 1) – 1, p = 1, i;

for(i = floor(pow(10, (n – 2))); i <= j; i++)

p *= (1 + (1/((10 * i) + d)));

return log10(p);

}

echo “Hello World”;

Stay tuned, Alex.
