[Gambas-user] I asked chat gpt to write a gambas script, here is what it did

[Brian G]

I asked it for a faster algorithm it gave me this 
using the Sieve of Eratosthenes, along with the count: 
Public Sub Main() 

Dim limit As Integer = 3000 
Dim isPrime As Boolean[] = New Boolean[limit + 1] 
Dim primes As New Integer[] 

For i As Integer = 2 To limit 
isPrime[i] = True 
Next 

For i As Integer = 2 To limit 
If isPrime[i] Then 
primes.Add(i) 
For j As Integer = i * i To limit Step i 
isPrime[j] = False 
Next 
Endif 
Next 

Print "Prime numbers between 2 and 300:" 
For Each prime As Integer In primes 
Print prime 
Next 

Print "Total number of primes found: " & primes.Count 

End
