Having a problem finding the first 1000 prime numbers, here is my code:-
print(2)
n =3
counter =1
while counter <=1000:
for x in range(3,int((n**0.5)),2):
if n%x != 0:
print(n)
n+=1
counter+=1
else:
n+=1
The problem is, it prints 2 and then does nothing, yet if i try and close,
it says program is still running do you want to kill it, is there a way to
do this with lists, i know python has a prime function but i am not going to
use it because i want to solve this problem without 'cheating'.Thanks.
