    No, it’s always guessing false and 99991 is prime so it isn’t right. This isn’t the output of the program but the output of the program compared with a better (but probably not faster) isprime program

      Yes, that’s what I said. They wrote another test program, with a correct implementation of IsPrime in order to test to make sure the pictured one produced the expected output.

          I mean people underestimate how usefull lookup tables are. A lookup table of primes for example is basically always just better except the one case where you are searching for primes which is more maths than computer programming anyways. The modern way is to abstract and reimplement everything when there are much cheaper and easier ways of doing it.
