Various cruise liners reposition from th U.S. to Europe next month, with big discounts on the trip. It's a lot easier on your back than flying, but only one-way unfortunately!

When I streamlined a C version of LL that I found online years ago,
I made it do the test for a wider range of exponents - it had only
worked for integers > 1000 and < 20M,

I was able to make it work DOWN TO > 32 and UP TO < 40M.
The algorithm implementation simply assumed n > 1000, so
it couldn't check exponents like 2, 3, 5, ..., 127, 521, 607.

I'm still not satisfied with my version - it should work uniformly
over the whole range of exponents, except perhaps for 2 and 3
which can be included simply because 2^2-1 = 3 and 2^3-1 = 7,
and we know 3 and 7 are prime in advance.

But not everyone knows that 2^5-1 = 31 is prime, and the program
and its algorithm should have worked for even the smallest exponents
without treating them as already known values.

I wonder how P95 deals with small exponents...

Thanks on both counts, Nick!

Still upset over Western sanctions. Crimea river By Chris Merriman

[QUOTE][B]RUSSIAN INTERNET[/B] tsar German Klimenko has announced in a televised rant that he plans to stop the unfair advantage Western companies have in the country, even if it means driving them out. And it could start with a state-sponsored switch to Linux.
[URL="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-09/putin-s-new-internet-czar-joins-hunt-for-google-apple-taxes"]Bloomberg[/URL] reported that Klimenko, hired by president 'Hello Boys' Putin six months ago, told Russian telly: "We are breeding the cow and they are milking it," referring presumably to the new 'udder controller' for Xbox One.
[/QUOTE]I only now looked at the Bloomberg link. Despite the satiric elements, this version doesn't stray too far from the source. :rolleyes:

Something is wrong there... all the cars are on the wrong side of the road... :wink:
