maybe it is taking too long ... ?

hi the first example I tried never print out anything. maybe movcc does not work with argc,argv,atoi etc, so I got rid of them all, and set the number of primes to a constant 10, and use only one external function "printf". still, it never print out anything. maybe you should give it a try. what is the speed normally like? main() { int n, i = 3, count, c;

//n=10000; //printf("Enter the number of prime numbers required\n"); //scanf("%d",&n);

n=10;

if ( n >= 1 ) { // printf("First %d prime numbers are :\n",n); printf("2\n"); }

for ( count = 2 ; count <= n ; ) { for ( c = 2 ; c <= i - 1 ; c++ ) { if ( i%c == 0 ) break; } if ( c == i ) { printf("%d\n",i); count++; } i++; }

}

// original version

include

int main(int argc,char** argv) { int n, i = 3, count, c;

//n=10000; //printf("Enter the number of prime numbers required\n"); //scanf("%d",&n);

if (argc<2) {printf("%s number.of.primes\n",argv[0]);return 1;} n=atoi(argv[1]);

if ( n >= 1 ) { // printf("First %d prime numbers are :\n",n); printf("2\n"); }

for ( count = 2 ; count <= n ; ) { for ( c = 2 ; c <= i - 1 ; c++ ) { if ( i%c == 0 ) break; } if ( c == i ) { printf("%d\n",i); count++; } i++; }

return 0; }
