The sieve of Eratosthenes can be expressed in pseudocode, as follows: [8] [9] algorithm Sieve of Eratosthenes is input: an integer n > 1. output: all prime numbers from 2 through n. let A be an array of Boolean values, indexed by integers 2 to n, initially all set to true.
Wilkins, a 17th-century philosopher, had proposed a universal language based on a classification system that would encode a description of the thing a word describes into the word itself—for example, Zi identifies the genus beasts; Zit denotes the "difference" rapacious beasts of the dog kind; and finally Zitα specifies dog.
This algorithm is known in mathematics as the Sieve of Eratosthenes. In mathematics, the sieve of Eratosthenes (Greek: κόσκινον Ἐρατοσθένους), one of a number of prime number sieves , is a simple, ancient algorithm for finding all prime numbers up to any given limit.
The Molossus were dogs that were kept by the ancient Greek tribe and kingdom of the Molossians, who inhabited the region of Epirus. [1] [2]The Molossus were famous throughout the ancient world for their size and ferocity and were frequently mentioned in ancient literature, including the writings of Aristophanes, [3] Aristotle, [4] Grattius, [5] Horace, [6] [7] Lucan, [8] Lucretius, [9] Martial ...
In Aristophanes's comedy The Frogs, an Empusa appears before Dionysus and his slave Xanthias on their way to the underworld, although this may be the slave's practical joke to frighten his master. Xanthias thus sees (or pretends to see) the empousa transform into a bull, a mule, a beautiful woman, and a dog.
The sieve was held by the two middle fingers only making it almost impossible to keep the sieve still for any length of time and thus ensuring a prognostication. The complicating factor is that in the Latin text accompanying the picture the sieve is said to "turn around" ( circum agatur ), which clearly it cannot do unless held at two ...
Byte once again revisited the sieve later in August 1983 as part of a whole-magazine series of articles on the C language. In this case the use was more in keeping with the original intent, using a single source code and running it on a single machine to compare the performance of C compilers on the CP/M-86 operating system, [ 13 ] on CP/M-80 ...
