Script question

Does anyone have ideas on how to write a python script that finds and prints out prime numbers that reach 1 billion ??? Also these have to be within an array as well. i have a relevent idea but i cant seem to get primes that high of a number.

Well first of all you have to create a program which finds prime numbers. then you must insert each prime to an array. that's a pretty simple test. The thing is that finding such large numbers are difficult to computers since they have to do many calculations. My code for that is this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- primes =[1,3,5] num = int(input("Enter last number of range ")) def FindPrimes(n): for x in range(1,n,2): for i in range(3,int(x/2)+1,2): if(x%i==0): break if(i>=int(x/2)-1): primes.append(x) break def printArr(arr): for x in range(len(arr)-1): print(arr[x],end=" ,") print(arr[len(arr)-1]) print("Prime numbers are:") FindPrimes(num) printArr(primes)

You can define the last number of the range. the greater number you enter the more numbers you'll find
