As to length I expect both languages to end in the same ball park. Here's a possible Python implementation: from itertools import zip_longest def prepare(s): return map(int, reversed(s.split(","))) def naive_add(base, left, right): result = [] carry = 0 for a, b in zip_longest(prepare(left), prepare(right), fillvalue=0): carry, rest = divmod(a + b + carry, base) result.append(rest) if carry: result.append(carry) return ",".join(map(str, reversed(result))) if __name__ == "__main__": print(naive_add(16, "1,2", "13,14")) The Python code for sure has better indentation ;) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
