Description

the function prime? only works for integers acceptable to the builtin procedure random, which don't go very high.

This function is useful mostly for checking much bigger integers.

  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to worksforme

Updated the documentation to reflect that the function "prime?" accepts an arbitrary RNG to get around this problem in a user-defined way. I think that is the best way to handle this problem.
