question

[Abhishek Jain]

Hello all,

I wrote a python program to find the 1000th prime no. The program isn't
working as it should be.
Please tell what the error is:

## this is to find the 1000th prime number

number = 3
while number < 1:
###initialize stuff
counter = 1
###initializing list to check primarity
factor = []
while counter!=(number/2):
if number % counter == 0:
factor = factor + [counter]
counter = counter + 1
if len(factor) > 1:
break
elif counter == 1000:
print number,
number+=1



The program is printing all the prime nos. from 1009 to 9973. Please respond
fast and give me the correct code with only simple functions as i am a
beginner to python.

Why not indent with spaces, just like you did for the example C code?

Re: list.append not working?

[Abhishek Jain]

with every iteration your previous values are overwritten ('md' is a
dictionary) so thats why your are observing this ouput..

check  if the following patch solves your problem

for entity in temp:
   md['module']= entity.addr.get('module')
   md['id']=entity.addr.get('id')
   md['type']=entity.addr.get('type')
   #print md
   mbusentities.append(md)
   md = {}
   #print mbusentities

I experience a problem with append(). This is a part of my code:

for entity in temp:
md['module']= entity.addr.get('module')
md['id']=entity.addr.get('id')
md['type']=entity.addr.get('type')
#print md
mbusentities.append(md)
#print mbusentities

I want something like: [{'module': 'home', 'id': 123, 'type': 'core'},
{'module': 'work', 'id': 456, 'type': 'core'}]
md is always correct, BUT:mbusentities is wrong. Length of
mbusentities is same of temp, so it appended everything. BUT:
mbusentities only shows the values of the last append: [{'module':
'work', 'id': 456, 'type': 'core'}, {'module': 'work', 'id': 456,
'type': 'core'}]

What's wrong?
