Stars on the Sand
My First Geeky Post
Earlier this afternoon, while sitting in one of those lecture rooms with my mind not really on the lecture for some reasons, I thought of doing a post about a very simple Prime Number Generator program, which was originally made by me, including the algorithm used. Visual Basic was my program of choice. Because I was bored in one of the lectures that I was attending, I formulated my own algorithm, just to keep my eyes wide open. Because, I don't understand or refuse to understand the complex way of determining a prime number (like the Sieve of Eratosthenes and Bit Array Improvement), I used the definition of a prime number as my basis for my algorithm. A prime number is a natural number which has exactly two distinct natural number divisors -- one and itself. From there, I hit it. I thought of having just one input and this is the number of prime numbers ( H ) that you would want to display. Pressing the pushbutton would show the H prime numbers in a textbox. Wha...
