I want to generate the first ten prime numbers and the first ten

Answer 1

Here is a way to generate the prime numbers up to a "max" argument from scratch, without using Prime or Math. Let me know what you think.

def prime_test max
    primes = []
    (1..max).each {|num| 
        if
            (2..num-1).all? {|denom| num%denom >0}
        then
            primes.push(num)
        end
    }
    puts primes
end

prime_test #enter max
