Ambrosia Software Web Board: Prime Numbers - Ambrosia Software Web Board

I'd just like to take this opportunity to remind Avatara that 31.257.311 is a prime number.

Note that 31.257.313 is almost a prime number, but it factors into 5437 and 5749.

You know, on non-school days, I try not to learn anything. You just wrecked my day.

Who says you had to learn anything?

------------------
From the moment I picked your book up, until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Someday I intend on reading it.

Now I know that 31.257.311 is a prime number...

3 is also a prime number

Aren't numbers only supposed to have at most one decimal?

Only America (and maybe Britain) use the commas. Everybody else uses periods.

This is an American board, last I checked.

But if pallas wants §31 and a quarter, I'm not sure I have a right to complain...

"What we do not know, we cannot begin to understand."

...and I was American, last time I checked. Years of playing online games based out of Europe have gotten me used to writing the period instead of the comma. Although apparently Hyp uses the comma... more PAesque-type games seem to rely more on the period.

I seem to recall the "modern" thing to do is just use spaces. 132 643 172. But that's never bothered me.

7 is my favourite prime number.

Periods and commas are both valid ways of expressing a decimal place in all jurisdictions.
I use both (commas in Ireland, Periods in Finland). Not only that, but it gets more interesting, in many places where commas are used for decimal places periods are used as incremental separators for thousands and vice versa.

Oh, so it is another bug hunt then...

Mommy, the crazy guy named Pallas is scaring me.

When is the last time you heard
that in a city.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int count, test, pc, i;
    long *prime;
    bool isp;

    scanf("%d", &count);

    if (count>0)
    {
        prime = new long[count];
        test = 2;
        pc = 0;

        while (pc < count)
        {
            isp = true;
            for (i=0; i<pc && isp; i++)
            {  
                if (test % prime[i] == 0)
                    isp = false;
            }
            if (isp) 
            {
                prime[pc] = test;
                printf("[%d] => %dn", pc, prime[pc]);
                pc++;
            }
            test++;
        }
    }

    return 0;
}

Programs are more cool if you return 1 instead of 0.

... or you give someone a header file with a hidden #define 0 10, so he'd go crazy trying to track down segfaults.

Well now I'm going to show you my Really Cool *cough* Return 1 Program:

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout<<"This program returns 1 because it's cooler than Pallas' silly program that returns 0.";
return 1;
}

Returning -1 is a bit better.

------------------
"What we do not know, we cannot begin to understand."

If you're going to do that, why not just declare void main()?

How about this one?

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

double main()
{
    double *i;
    srand((unsigned)time(NULL));
    i = rand();
    return *i;
}
