Question

Anyone working on Problem set 1 (not 0)?

Answer 1

Just did it

Answer 2

Did you use the book or just online references? I think I know the parts, but unsure how to put it all together, generate all odds as candidates for primes then test and count odds as to whether they are primes?

Answer 3

Just the lecture and handouts. Start with the test for one prime number and work your way outward. Also start with just the first 10 or so primes, so debugging is easier. I got tripped up with not indenting correctly and initializing the variables on the wrong level of code at first.

Answer 4

Thanks, Joe. I'll start there. Thanks for the structure hint . . .
