Re: Mathematics jokes
Each prime you will probably store in ascii. An n digit number takes at least n bytes of storage on your drive.
Do you keep the file open and then write all the primes and then close it?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Re: Mathematics jokes
Yes, actually closing it isn't a part of the code

Re: Mathematics jokes
So there is one opening of the file and one closing?

Re: Mathematics jokes
Okay, that is alright then. If you opened and closed it after writing each number n, it would be much slower.
Now you say that it took all night to generate 1 million primes.

When you come back tell me how long the program took without writing to the file.

Re: Mathematics jokes
If you took out the writing to the file and just generated the 10 million how long would that take?
It could be that writing to a file is what is taking all the time. If you think 10 million is still too much then tell me how long it takes for 1 million without the file operations.

Nowhere, you are just benchmarking the program to see which part of the routine is using the most time.

I terminated the program, I have no more interest -a 17 mb file is enough to split all 10 digit phone numbers.

Hmm
I am surprised no one is happy to see that their phone number as a sum of two primes. Not even my dad.
My brother seems a 'little' happy though

Are your numbers 10 digits or does that include an area code?
