The clock() function returns, as MeJennifer stated before, the cpu time which is less than the elapsed time (recall Hurkyl's post: 'Printing the primes to screen is probably more time-consuming than the calls to isprime()'). So I tried this solution, which seems to work although it's not...

Sorry for that, didn't notice. About the clock() function I will try to use it. I found an interesting thread about that function http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread213478.html" . When I come up with a fully functional solution I will post it. The (3) solution will also be considered. I...

I've written an algorithm that has the following goal: finding all prime numbers up to a specified integer. I've made two different algorithms actually: on one hand, I've used the concept beyond the ancient sieve of eratosthenes; on the other, I've used a function called isprime() that tests if...

Well, if the objective is to create a picture, why don't you write a program to create the desired picture? My sugestion: a fractal (eg. Koch's snow flake or one created by you). To find information about fractals, TI-83 algorithms and other stuff...use google.

Allow me to add something: In my opinion, a good way to get to know what a scientist does is by visiting Universities or reading books. I've done both things and I've learn few but important things about the scientist's life. And one thing is sure: when reading, you'll be fascinated about how...

I would say so. You can use the amazon's 'search inside!' feature to read a chapter one excerpt https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0393047857/?tag=pfamazon01-20

I know very little of C++ and VB6. Oddly, I've never done a simple calculator in C++, just a collatz sequence program. But I've done it in VB. I'm currently reading a book about logic by https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0393047857/?tag=pfamazon01-20, called The Universal Computer. I expect to...

My education level is 12th grade (high school). I'm not sure that's how it works in U.S.A. because I do not live there. Thank you for the links.

Well, here is a question that popped into my mind when I was trying to open a simple calculator. Calculators store numbers in binary form, depending on the present or abscense of electrical current, according to http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/52503.html". What devices are behind this...

Testing: \frac{180}{\pi} \mbox{thank you robphy} http://www.equationsheet.com/entertex.php?SID=XXXXXBOT Does this site work for you? I was hoping to generate some png files, but I can't. I've consulted the howtolatex pdf file. Thanks in advance.

I can understand your outlook and, leaving biology out of the question, the answer is of course d. But it was said that the correct answer was b. I just tried to give a reasonable explanation that may or not be correct. It's just a hypothesis. Same way (55,55) is not a valid combination because...

a.> b.< c.= d.uncertain Let's see it in another way. You can be a father at the age of 18. That's undoubtable. Same goes to 36. About 54, let's say you also can. But 72? I don't think so. The answer b The answers a, c and d don't make sense because at 72 it's logically (rather than...

Male androgens progressively decline with age and that can mean you cannot have babies after the age of 50. What does this have to do with your problem? Well: So I guess we can focus on (37,73),(46,64) only*. Hence, the positive difference between carol's age in years, and her fater's age in...

Lise Meitner was 60 years old and was stuck in Stocholm in 1938, although she was born in Austria. Lise Meitner was considered to be one of the most notable scientists in Germany: "Our Madame Curie", Einstein said. Otto Hahn and Meitner shared a laboratory in Berlin (Kaiser Wilhelm). Meitner...

The answer to your question can be found on this book: http://www.davidbodanis.com/books/emc2/" . 6th chapter, «2» The post's question is why c is squared. The author, after a brief introduction about Emile du Châtelet and Voltaire introduces few reasons for c being squared. You should look...
