Does anyone know if there is a way to search for prime numbers in JMP?

Not that I know of, though I guess you could code something if you have the knowledge and know what you want.

Not sure it's worth it, though - See for example. You can download their software and 'win a cash prize' (?!) apparently . . .

Thanks Ian,

I figured as much, I knew it was a long shot :) . I would be looking to find prime numbers within a fixed range and I know there are some algorithims out there I could use.

Hi Alan,

Robert Anderson has found in the JMP 14 documentation a script for this:

https://www.jmp.com/support/help/14/create-an-interactive-program.shtml

The script only works for numbers up to 100, if you want to look for primes above that, you would have to modify the script.

Regards,

Maria

Unfortunately that script assumes you already know the answer (since it contains a list of primes).

Thanks Maria, I would be looking at up to 90 digits.
