Pseudo-code then... (You didn't specify, not even when others asked you to) variable current_number=1 variable count_prime=1 while count_prime is lower than input do variable aux=1 while aux lower or equal to (current_number/2) round down do if current_number mod (aux) = 0 do continue done aux=aux+1 done current_number = current_number+1 done print count_prime This is a not too accurate way, but it's the code itself. Next time, please provide some more info, or a bit of what you tried before.

@myenemy.. there is no need for such type of information. i already mention everything into the question. prime numbers start from 2,3,5,7,11..... so on. if I give the input 3.. output will be 5. because at 3rd position prime number is 5
