numbers in the example for the task

For 10,000 primes   (as shown by the example in the Rosetta Code task), my numbers (using the REXX program)   don't match those shown:

Does anyone else match either set of numbers for 10,000 primes?   -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 22:32, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

I get a different result. Also, prime 10001 is 104759. Prime 8220 is 84327. Prime 0 is 2. So that's probably your issue. --Rdm (talk) 22:42, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Pascal results also match the numbers given in the example. --G.Brougnard (talk) 22:48, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
