@Salem: By better, I actually mean more efficient. Regardless what language I progam in, I still want the most efficient solution for any problem I approach.

@Jimbo: Your solution looks good! A lot better than mine!

Thanks for the replies, guys!

I'm going to agree with Salem on this one. Unless you have severe performance constraints, maintainable code is so much more valueable than fastest code. It's a different kind of efficiency, but from a development standpoint usually more important. Thinking about it last night, I actually think that things like Top Coder can be a bad influence because they place more emphasis on differences in speed - even small ones - and less on code quality.

Thanks
