Circuit Description

This applet demonstrates yet another simple algorithm to calculate prime numbers. Detected prime numbers are stored in an array starting at program address 0x00000400, corresponding to memory component address 0x0100.

FIXME: This needs to be updated. Sorry.

void prim(int max, int startadr)
{
  int prim, teiler, *adr, teilt;

  *adr = 2;

  for (prim = 3; prim < max; prim += 2) {
    teiler = 3;
    teilt = 0;
    while (teiler * teiler <= prim) {
      if (prim % teiler == 0) {
        teilt = 1;
        teiler = prim;
      } else {
        teiler += 2;
      }
    }
    if (teilt == 0) {
      adr++;
      *adr = prim;
    }
  }
}

  int i, *ptr;
