Question

The decimal number, $585 = 1001001001_2$ (binary), is palindromic in both bases.

Find the sum of all numbers, less than one million, which are palindromic in base 10 and base 2.

(Please note that the palindromic number, in either base, may not include leading zeros.)

Clojure

#!/usr/bin/env clojure
(defn reversed [string]
  (apply str (reverse string)))

(defn palindrome? [string]
  (= string (reversed string)))

(defn palindrome-in-decimal-and-binary? [n]
  (and (palindrome? (Integer/toString n 2))
       (palindrome? (Integer/toString n))))

(println (reduce + (filter palindrome-in-decimal-and-binary? (range 1 1000000))))

palindrome :: Eq a => [a] -> Bool
palindrome s = s == reverse s

digits :: Int -> Int -> [Int]
digits _ 0 = []
digits base n = r : digits base q
    where (q, r) = quotRem n base

main :: IO ()
main = print $ sum [n | n <- [1..1000000], all palindrome [digits 10 n, digits 2 n]]

Ruby

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

  def palindrome?
    self == self.reverse
  end
end

puts (1..1000000).select { |i| i.to_s.palindrome? && i.to_s(2).palindrome? }.reduce(:+)
