I don't know how to even start prob. set 1... need help.
Think about all the steps you need to perform and write it out here in normal english.
Not sure but here goes, First, I need to create variable--- maybe… x Then, I would assign value to them--- x = 1000 After that, create a “for loop”--- for candidate in range(0,x): if candidate%2 != 0: # makes sure candidates are prime print “prime number”, candidate #prints out the primes Now, I know I need to figure out if a prime is the 100th prime, and that's where I'm having a hard time. Maybe create a counter that let's me know that I computed to the 1000th prime, but I think I attempted that when I created the variable x and assigned the 1000 integer to it, although it's most likely poor (and wrong) attempt at it. Thanks dhatraditya for your help.
* opps-- the "for loop" should be for candidate in range(1,x):
In this case, you will only find primes between 1 and 1000. So your answer will be 997, which is the highest prime between 1 and 1000. What you need to find is the thousandth prime number, not the prime numbers between 1 and 1000
so your counter needs to count the number of primes. for x in range (0,1000) check whether candidate is prime if yes: increment x if no: don't increment x
