Re: A common array

[ratsonjaniv@hotmail.com (Mr. J.)]

Thanks.
Well, U ask me to be more specific.
I'll do that.

I need to write a procedure that checks and prints  the prime numbers
between 1 and m.
The procedure gets 2 parameter, m- the numbers to check 1..m and n -
the number of tasks to perform it.

each tak will check if a number is a prime number, and will update an
array of booleans (size 1..m).
At the end of all tasks the procedure prints the prime numbers.

A managment task should manage all the tasks allocations ...

Regards,
Janiv Ratson.
