Re: interview question on primes

Separating good from bad at interview time is not so easy, but a
simple challenger exercise, at the level of difficulty of the one
being discussed, is not so bad as a quick test, at least to filter out

(1) those who are incompetent mathematically

(2) those who have no design skills

(3) those who can't program their way out of a paper bag

(4) those who write overly complex code when the context of the
situation (interview time, on the spot) calls for simplicity.

And (5) have no attention to detail, like myself when I didn't stop my sieve at sqrt(b) in the psuedocode I posted. Honestly, if I was going for the job, I would have checked though.
