Build the Champernowne string '12345678910111213...' until at
least 1500 chars; product of digits at positions 1, 10, 100, 1000
is 1 * 1 * 5 * 3 = 15.
Initial implementation timed out: 'String.length (Buffer.contents
buf) < 1500' rebuilt the full string each iteration (O(n^2) in our
spec-level evaluator). Fixed by tracking length separately from
the Buffer:
let len = ref 0 in
while !len < 1500 do
let s = string_of_int !i in
Buffer.add_string buf s;
len := !len + String.length s;
i := !i + 1
done
Real PE40 uses positions up to 10^6 (answer 210); 1000 keeps under
budget while exercising the same string-build + char-pick pattern.
122 baseline programs total.
