- The 45th and 46th Mersenne primes have been discovered, is the intention to keep this table up to date? --Lupus 17:24, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Java precision
The Java version is still limited by types. Integer.parseInt(args[0]) limits p to 2147483647. Also the fact that isMersennePrime takes an int limits it there too. For full arbitrary precision every int needs to be a BigInteger or BigDecimal and a square root method will need to be created for them. The limitation is OK I think (I don't think we'll be getting up to 22147483647 - 1 anytime soon), but the claim "any arbitrary prime" is false because of the use of ints. --Mwn3d 07:45, 21 February 2008 (MST)
Math in introduction
Here is the page's introduction written with math markup and so proper superscripts; but tex support is currently broken (at least for my viewing preferences), so I haven't put it in yet. Once fixed, copy it in (without the indent). --Kevin Reid 17:15, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
