Hi All,
is it possible to modify the following function to allow the user to select the
number of bits as opposed to the number of digits?
In[1]:=
Needs["NumberTheory`NumberTheoryFunctions`"]
In[2]:=
RandomPrime[d_] := NextPrime[Random[Integer, {10^(d - 1), 10^d}]]
The operator would select RandomPrime[1024] and this would produce a hexdecimal
output with 1024 bits displayed as a hex number.
Any suggestions? Thank you ... Wilson
