<div dir="ltr">Dear All,<div><br></div><div> I would like to propose the idea of a new application to the kde-edu set named: Kprime.</div><div>Kprime is an application that belongs to the mathematics division, it has to do mainly with prime numbers.</div>
<div>The main features will be as follows:</div><div><br></div><div>- Prime Testing: Given a prime number or a set of prime number whether through program input, or a text file (given the delimiter between them), the program would check the primality of each and answer the user back.</div>
<div>- Prime Generation: Generate all prime numbers between M and N, where M and N are given integers.</div><div>- Visualization option of each of the previous process, also visualization of the algorithms used in order to do the prime testing in general or the prime generation.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Currently the algorithms for the testing / generation are already written and they are quite very fast.</div><div><br></div><div>Kindly reply with comments or suggestions.</div><div>Waiting for your feedback..</div>

<br></blockquote></div><br>You can do the testing and generation with KAlgebra already (there's the functions that do that somewhere, you just need to load the file).<br>I don't understand the visualization feature, maybe you could elaborate on that.<br>
If you want to create an app to be able to optimize such algorithms, I don't really think KDE Edu is the place to do that. You can improve the tools you use to research them (debuggers, profilers) but I think this is out of KDE Edu scope. Maybe you should twist your idea towards the user cases instead of writing a prime numbers application.<br>
