Finding all primes by counting odd composite numbers

[idiom]

Have someone working with me on the code. He is pretty busy so it may take him some time to work through his stack.

If it gives you some freedom, you can try learning Python. It's picked up quickly, tutorials are available (http://docs.python.org/tutorial/introduction.html), and it has "big number" support built-in, and used seamlessly without you doing anything.

Thanks for the tip

Interesting thread. By range, what do you mean? a specific grouping that will be of different sizes for increasingly larger numbers , or any range from say 0 to infinity?
