== a graphic view of the first 10k semiprimes ==
For those that are interested, here is the output of my $CALC (REXX) program that shows a binary map of the first 10k semiprimes.
<br><br>The command used was:
<lang rexx>$CALC translate{ isSemiPrime[ iota(1,10k) ], 'dcfa'x, 10}</lang}
The &nbsp; '''translate''' &nbsp; BIF converts ones and zeroes to &nbsp; ▄ &nbsp; and &nbsp; ·
<br>The &nbsp; '''iota''' &nbsp; BIF generates the numbers &nbsp; 1 ──► 10,000 &nbsp; which are passed to the &nbsp; '''isSemiPrime'''.
