Hi,
sorry for posting an [OT], but usually people on this list know
everything :-)
Since I don't know too much about programming I am frequently
fascinated by simple things like Eratosthenes' sieve.
As you might remember, one has to create a boolean array for
that. The longer the array the more primes can be found.
With malloc() I can create an array of length 100000000 (10^8)
and the first 5761455 primes are calculated in a few seconds.
So of course I would like to test length 10^9 but here my program
crashes.
So my questions:
- is there some way to create a longer array?
- or what are the alternatives?
- do you know some kind of fine manual about this?
Regards and thanks for all answers,
Uli.
