:::: Essentially, this isn't going to help comparing (one of Rosetta Code's objectives) computer programming code, in this case, to find/display ginormous (Pierpont) primes, --- unless one has a robust '''isPrime''' function (mostly likely a BIF). There is nothing to learn about <u>using</u> an '''isPrime''' BIF. Otherwise, it's just an exercise in <strike>wasting</strike> consuming electric power. Interpretive computer programming languages will have a large/largish obstacle to overcome with a brute force approach. This shouldn't be the hurdle to jump over, just because interpretive languages have that handicap. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 05:52, 19 August 2019 (UTC) |

== Final Digits == |
|||
Looking at the results, I see that there appear to be no Pierpont primes of the second kind ending with 9, but 9 is a relatively common final digit of the Pierpont numbers of the first kind. The distribution of the other possible final digits also appears to differ between them. |

Maybe showing the numbers of each possible final digit would be interesting. Also, the First kind are clearly more frequent than the second kind. --[[User:Tigerofdarkness|Tigerofdarkness]] ([[User talk:Tigerofdarkness|talk]]) 09:48, 19 August 2019 (UTC) |
