Counting primes wasn't the point of the task. The counting the primes is a method of validating if the '''totient function''' was coded (programmed) correctly such that it should correctly yield the number of primes up to a specified number (inclusive). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:28, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
== Mathematica/Wolfram Language markup ==
Hi, I notice that you have been going in and changing a lot of the '''<nowiki>=={{Mathematica}}==</nowiki>''' language headers to '''<nowiki>=={{header|Mathematica}}/{{header|Wolfram Language}}==</nowiki>'''.
While I don't really care much one way or the other, a few questions arise.
* Is there any difference between Mathematica and Wolfram Language (as far as programming languages go)? I was under the impression that Mathematica was the computational environment and Wolfram Language was the language used to interact with it. If so, why two different categories? Seems like you can't really use one without the other. Really should pick one as the programming language and make the other a redirect pointing to it. (and then convert ALL of the task headers to only point to the one chosen as the programming language.
* If that isn't going to happen, could you ''at least'' use consistent header markup on the tasks? Either '''<nowiki>=={{header|Mathematica}}/{{header|Wolfram Language}}==</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>=={{header|Mathematica}} / {{header|Wolfram Language}}==</nowiki>''' (spaces around forward solidus). I don't care which, but having them both ways makes it impossible (well... extremely difficult...) to automate tooling to link into them.
I don't want to discourage you from going in and cleaning these up, I am actually grateful that there is someone knowledgeable that nominally cares; I just want to steer you into a direction that actually improves the site. Thanks. --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 10:33, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
