suggestions and modifications required......

Answer 1

This is what I did for ps1:


import math

primes = [ 2, 3 ]
testNum = 5
numberOfPrimes = 10000

while( len( primes ) < numberOfPrimes ):
for i in xrange( 0, len( primes ) ):
if( testNum % primes[i] ):
if( i == ( len( primes ) - 1 )):
primes.append( testNum )
else:
break
testNum += 2

lastPrime = primes[len( primes ) - 1]
print "The", str( numberOfPrimes ) + "th prime is:", lastPrime
