sieve.as

A prime number sieve to count primes <= n.

        isprime: OneDimensionalArray Boolean := new(n::NonNegativeInteger, true);

for i in 1..4 repeat
        n := 10^i
        outputList ["There are ", sieve n, " primes <= ", n]

   There are 4 primes <= 10
   There are 25 primes <= 100
   There are 168 primes <= 1000
   There are 1229 primes <= 10000

To run this program on your own computer you need linux and Axiom+Aldor from AxiomBinaries.

1. Save the program source as a file called 'sieve.as':

     $ vi sieve.as
   

2. Start Axiom:

     $ AXIOMsys
   

3. Compile the program:

     (1) -> )compile sieve.as
   

4. Run it:

       for i in 1..6 repeat ( _
           n := 10^i; _
           outputList ["There are ", sieve n, " primes <= ", n] _
       )
