I am using version 2.5.6. I creat the varibles : primeCount = 0 Prime Candidate = 2 While primeCount < 1000 isPrime = True primeCanditate = primeCandidate + 2 That's as far as I have gotten. I can't figure out how to loop through the possible candidates to the 1000th prime. -----Original Message----- From: kent3...@gmail.com [mailto:kent3...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Kent Johnson Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 12:33 PM To: Ray Holt Cc: tutor@python.org Subject: Re: [Tutor] Help on finding the 1000th prime On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 10:56 AM, Ray Holt <mrhol...@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > I have posted this on other lists, but have just discovered this one. > Can someone give me help on writing the code necessary to find the > 1000th. prime number.
