Write a simple computer program

The task this week is for you to create a computer program which computes all the prime numbers between 2 and 100; those who want an extra challenge can write one which allows the user to set the lower and upper bounds of the range at run time.

You program should print a series of numbers, one per line, like this:

   2
   3
   5
   7
  11

You may use any computing language or environment you wish.

I suggest that you

• write an algorithm before you start, which describes step-by-step the procedure your code will follow
• create a short manual page which describes what your program does, how to run it, and what it produces

If you can, please bring a computer with you to class, so that you (and others) can run your program. Print out your manual page onto paper and bring it with you to class as well.
