Windows Scripting (the normal shell) for Ex VB Programmers - Lesson 2–Solution

The following is the solution of the question in the last post. Printing the prime numbers between 1 and 100. This may not be the best logic, yet it gets what to be done. It is more important to develop a timely solution than an untimely one.

wscript.echo "1" wscript.echo "2" wscript.echo "3" for x=5 to 100 step 2     isprime=0     for z=2 to x-1         if x mod z = 0 then             isprime=1         end if     next     if isprime=0 then         wscript.echo x     end if next

and the output

C:\scripts>cscript prime.vbs //nologo 1 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97

Some more examples that you should try

1. List the Fibonacci series – first 15 numbers

2. Find the Square root of any number correct to 4 decimal places. (use Newton’s method)
