NextPrime (Float function)

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

1. 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
