This intrinsic function returns the prime number that immediately precedes the method object value.
The PreviousPrime function is available as of version 7.3 of the Sirius Mods.
PreviousPrime syntax
%value = number:PreviousPrime
Syntax terms
- %value
- A numeric variable to receive the method result.
- number
- A Float value.
Usage Notes
- The method object value is initially rounded to the nearest integer before the preceding prime is determined.
- If number rounds to 2 or less or is greater than 231-1, the request is cancelled.
- PreviousPrime always returns a value lower than the method object value, even if the method object value is prime.
Examples
The following statement returns “2.8:previousPrime = 2”.
PrintText {~} = {2.8:previousPrime}
