in reply to Quick search for modest numbers of prime numbers

Oh this one brings back memories.

Around the age of ten/twelve when I first started to take my baby steps with programming languages I was fascinated by primes.

After a lot of trial and error and basically no help from any mathematical textbooks or anything I've implemented more or less the same way of searching for primes back then - in Turbo Pascal. :)

That code was twenty times longer than this, but oh boy I was proud.

I've been in love with programming and computers ever since, but you know how it is, you never forget the first...I thought I'd share.
