Anyone want to venture a guess at the first prime number above 1,000,000,000,0 00? I used my program shown in the C++ section to calculate it... you won't win anything if you get it, but I thought it might be fun. Please excuse my enthusiasm about this, but this is the first program I have written mostly on my own, but with some crucial help from people, that did anything even remotely useful and worked!

Recognized Expert Expert Here is what the python code looks like.
Much more efficient than mine, LOL.... It took me somwhere between 5-10 minutes (i wasn't counting) to calculate that the first prime after 10^15... which is 1,000,000,000,0 00,037

So you ran it? I didn't try it. I bet it at a huge chunk of memory at 10^15...
I haven't run the python code, but my C++ did calculate it to that... I've since become slightly obsessed with prime numbers, LOL, joined GIMPS, been reading books on them.

Is there a python module that includes functions for working with prime
numbers? I mainly need A function that returns the Nth prime number and
that returns how many prime numbers are less than N, but a prime number
tester would also be nice. I'm dealing with numbers in the 10^6-10^8 range
so it would have to fairly efficient

In doing some testing of different but simple algorithms for getting a
list of prime numbers, I ended up getting some results that seem a bit
contradictory. Given the following test program (testPrimes.py) with
two algorithms that both check for primes by testing only odd numbers
using factors up to the square root of the value, where Primes1 is based
on all of the existing primes so far, and Primes2 is based on all odd
numbers, I would...

HI.
Python , with its support of arbit precision integers, can be great
for number theory. So i tried writing a program for testing whether a
number is prime or not. But then found my function painfully slow.Here
is the function :
from math import sqrt
def isPrime(x):
if x%2==0 or x%3==0:
return 0

This is my code and it will take any number that I input and say it is a prime number. Please help me...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
