    And, in addition to being very limited in the range of input values, the result isn't correct, either. <SmartassMode> 1 is not a prime number, by definition. </SmartassMode> ;P

      Should have told him he has to use this list: The first 10000 prime numbers[^]

      And any of the following things would have happened for sure: 1) Typing the if-else clause for 10000 numbers, he would broken the keyboard. 2) Typing the if-else clause for 10000 numbers, he would have broken down and ambulance should have been requested. It is an unnecessary headache, at least in this case right?

        And for sure, the developer would written the code which would have thrown System.StackOverFlowException :-D

          as an assignment, i asked for a program that we've all been through, a function that returns weather or not a given number is prime. in one case, i was given the following :

          if(num== 1 || num== 2 || num== 3 || num== 5 || num== 7 || num== 11 || num== 13 || num== 17 || num== 19 || num== 23 || num== 29 || num== 31 || num== 37 || num== 41 || num== 43 || num== 47 || num== 53 || num== 59 || num== 61 || num== 67 || num== 71 || num== 73 || num== 79 || num== 83 || num== 89 || num== 97 || num== 101 || num== 103 || num== 107 || num== 109 || num== 113)
          {
          return true;
          }
          else
          {
          return false;
          }

          when i asked him why he stopped at 113 (since it was the only thing i thought of asking) he said, in a tired voice, "I couldn't think of any more numbers" do you, or do you not feel sorry for him?

              Is this real c# code or just a joke? I don't know the language but it looks pretty ugly to me...

                          You are right, this is awful. Better is:

                          int Primes[]={2,3,5,7,...,113};
                          int size=sizeof(Primes[])/sizeof(Primes[0]);
                          int i=0;
                          while (i<size)
                          {
                          if (num==Primes[i]) return true;
                          }
                          return false;

                          MSVC++ generates an error on the above code.;) // why not having then: int Primes[]={2,3,5,7,...};:rolleyes:
