Question

1000th prime http://codepad.org/BvBfHSyK

Answer 1

Do you have any particular question with this code ?

Answer 2

cool -
at line 7 you have to guess at the limit for the range of numbers to be tested for primeness.
while you guessed correctly this time, it is possible to run out of numbers before you reach max_count (if you guess wrong or max_count changes). you could probably figure out a way that was more generic - without that guess.

Answer 3

Thanks for the advice, yeah guessing is what im trying to get away from.
