Look's cool, like a simplifed C++ maybe?

I have a book 'for dummies' of both C++ and beginners (BASIC) programming. They both came with their own CD with a built-in compiler. Dev-C++ for C++ and Liberty BASIC for BASIC. Have you had any experience with those?

I heard theres a contest going on, a 'million dollar math contest'. There are 10 questions or problems that, if you solve, you will get a million dollars. One is the Riemann hypothesis, either proving it true or false. The other is a problem like this. You have a paper route, and you have 30 houses. You know how long it takes to get from house A to house B, and from house C to D, ect. Write a computer program that would determine the shortest route to take.

Do you think that is possible to do?

The Riemann Hypothesis is about prime numbers. I am intrigued by it because it's so logicistally (sp.) simple.

The Riemann algorithm is I believe this (although I'm sure it's on the internet somewhere):

divide the previous prime number by the recipricol of the logarithm of it

That should get you to the next prime number, but I'm not sure. Gauss and Legendre did a lot of work with it, they're mathematicians.

Hm, maybe you can make a C++ program to attempt that?

(Just in case you don't know, a prime number is a number that can only be divided by that number and one, such as... 5, 7, 11, 17, 29, 37, ect., the opposite of a prime number is a composite, which is a number that can be divided by another number, such as 2, 4, 6, 8, 25, 49, ect.)

There's a dispute in mathematics about whether or not 2 is considered a prime or composite number.
