Moork's Challenge for mIRC Scripters!

Well, i had an idea, why not have a challenge for mIRC scripters?

Well, my challenge is to make an identifier called $prime.
If the number is prime it returns true, else it returns false.

For those who dont know what prime numbers are, a prime number is a number a number that has only 2 factors, 1 and itself.

Well, i wouldnt want you to post the script, but PM me.

No regex!
No Coms/Dll's.
You can use Token identifiers such as gettok, findtok etc etc.

Good luck!

 

More details please. Like, what it's based on, speed? byte size?
What's the format? $prime(NUM) ?
What can the number be? Any number below 1000? Includes negative numbers?

 

A: Negative prime numbers; they don't exist (negative*negative = positive), so return no/false/-1/what the fuck ever if it's negative

B: format would be obvious, $prime(##)

C: i'm guessing that he just wants you to do it. make it as [in]efficient as you want.

 

How would I learn to mirc script?

 

Or we could just used the identifiers already there and do this in like 3 seconds, lol.

 

There are no identifiers which returns the prime number, lol.
You'll have loop through the numbers

 

This will be judged on bytes.
Format is $prime(NUM) yes.
Does not include NEGATIVE numbers.

Yes, and if resident does not like this, he may close it.
Thanks.

 

Of course, but i wouldn't deny others an experience simply because i dislike mIRC scripting; carry on.
