/* get the n-th prime number */ <- what you need, right?



I guess IOhannes m zmölnig could help you more than me on that matter :)

Seems that there are some prime related stuff (not sure what they do.. have to look further into them)  in pd-externals, maybe one can do the trick.

I have no clue if it exists in a pd-object, but its easy to compile and external with some generator from the web:

http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/4247 or http://snipplr.com/view/1219/c-prime-number-generator/ (do you want it to output numbers on bang? all at the same time - I tested that code just now... seems fine and can be tuned to how many primes you want.)

other way to go: you could grab them from a file (of stored primes) or from an online prime generator =P

is there a Pd object for generating prime numbers?

currently I'm:
