Suck a dick until it works
If you cannot find any iterative algorithm for the problem, you have to settle for a recursive one.
You can write out this algorithm. This will then be programmed into the device to make determining prime numbers easier.
A recursive call in an algorithm is when a function (that implements this algorithm) calls itself. For example, Quicksort is a popular algorithm that is recursive. The recursive call is seen in the last line of the pseudocode, where the quicksort function calls itself. function quicksort('array') create empty lists 'less' and 'greater' if length('array') ≤ 1 return 'array' // an array of zero or one elements is already sorted select and remove a pivot value 'pivot' from 'array' for each 'x' in 'array' if 'x' ≤ 'pivot' then append 'x' to 'less' else append 'x' to 'greater' return concatenate(quicksort('less'), 'pivot', quicksort('greater'))
If the condition has been reached.
Linear search(a,item) n=length(a) for i=1 to n do if(a[i]==item) then return i end for return -1
A base case is the part of a recursive definition or algorithm which is not defined in terms of itself.

A recursive algorithm is an algorithm which calls itself with "smaller (or simpler)" input values, and which obtains the result for the current input by applying simple operations to the returned value for the smaller (or simpler) input. Heres a recursive algorithm to reverse a string char *rev(char str[],int pos1,int pos2) { if(pos1<pos2) { char temp=str[pos1]; str[pos1]=str[pos2]; str[pos2]=temp; return rev(str,pos1+1,pos2-1); } return str; } You can call this function like this char *r=rev("reverse it",0,9);
When the input size is halved and a recursive algorithm makes two calls with a cost of 2t(n/2) each, along with an additional cost of nlogn at each level of recursion, the time complexity increases by a factor of nlogn.
Algorithm can be defined as an interpretable, finite set of instructions for dealing with contigencies and accompanying task that has recognizable end-points for given inputs. It is a tool for solving a well computational problem. A recursive algorithm is one which calls itself.
The formula, as far as I can see, is not appropriate for the algorithm.
