So, I don’t really know what the error is, because it says that the program took too long to finish, and that I should check for infinite loops.
$VERBOSE = nil # We’ll explain this at the end of the lesson.
require ‘prime’ # This is a module. We’ll cover these soon!
def first_n_primes(n)
unless n.is_a? Integer
return “n must be an integer.”
end
if n <= 0
return “n must be greater than 0.”
end
prime_array ||=
prime = Prime.new
for num in (1…n)
prime_array.push(prime.next)
end
return prime_array
end
first_n_primes(10)
So, the only thing I changed was the prime_array ||= and I don’t see where the problem could be.
I tried again, and it worked.
