Line 6:
Primality is frequently used for instructional purposes in computer science. Naive algorithms for calculating it are usually complex enough to be a test for a new programmer (barring algorithms built into languages), but simple enough that they can be used as parts of problems to follow.
Below is a list of tasks which involve
:::* the calculation (or generation) of primes or ''types'' of primes
:::* the use of primes in finding other types of numbers
:::* the factorization of integers
:::* the use of various algorithms in finding or detecting primes or types of primes
:::* the coding of various types of primality tests
:::* the use of primes in generating various (number) sequences
:::* etc.
