OK, this edition is probably "cleaner" than the 1st edition.

Always the gracious one, Tim May takes time out of his busy schedule to assist me. Well, now, I posted quickly and didn't take time to make a neat statement. In a recent post I mentioned that the ? mark is a "save". I'll go even further than this! An algorithm attempting to factor a prime would fail. - Thusly, implying primality :-) I believe that I would be literally correct even without the ? :-) And, yes, the factors of a prime are 1 and the number itself. In some circles this is considered trivial. Yours Truly, Gary Jeffers BEAT STATE!!!
