Find smallest prime greater than this number (Float class)
The NextPrime intrinsic function returns the next prime number after the method object value.
Syntax
%number = float:NextPrime
Syntax terms
| %number | A numeric variable to receive the method result. |
|---|---|
| float | A Float value. |
Usage notes
- The method object value, float, is initially rounded to the nearest integer before the next prime is determined.
- NextPrime always returns a value higher than the current float value, even if float is currently prime.
- If float is a negative value or is greater than 231-1, the request is cancelled.
- NextPrime is available as of Sirius Mods Version 7.3.
Examples
The following request displays the first one hundred prime numbers after 1000:
begin %i is float %n is float %n = 1000 for %i from 1 to 100 %n = %n:nextPrime printText {%n} end for end
