Primes by Trial Division - ParcPlace ObjectWorks Smalltalk

30 April 2017

The only difference between this and the Smalltalk/V version is the formatting of the Object and Methods declarations, as required by the FileIn task. The method definition itself is identical.

Object subclass: #Benchmark
        instanceVariableNames: ''
        classVariableNames: ''
        poolDictionaries: ''
        category: 'Benchmark'!

!Benchmark methodsFor: 'findPrimes'!

findPrimes: n
    | count primes |
    count := 3.
    primes := OrderedCollection with: 2.
    [ primes size < n ] whileTrue: [
        primes detect: [ :prime | count \\ prime = 0 ] ifNone: [ primes add: count ].
        count := count + 1. ].
    ^primes! !

"Transcript show: (Time millisecondsToRun: [
    Transcript show: ((Benchmark new) findPrimes: 100) printString; cr. ] )
  printString; cr."
