Is there simpler method to generate any number of primes ?
"Simplicity" depends entirely on the programming language. In Mathematica, the simplest way is Prime[n]. One might think that there are "natural" universal Turing machines, in the sense that unnatural ones can simulate natural ones with short interpreters, but not vice-versa. Somewhat surprisingly, that turns out to be false. -- Mike Stay - metaweta@gmail.com http://math.ucr.edu/~mike https://reperiendi.wordpress.com
