find the 1000th. prime number.
Break this down into 2 separate problems. (I assume 1 is the first prime
number)
1 - determining the next prime number
2 - repeating that 1000 times.
A while loop is a way to accomplish 2.
How do you determine the next prime number? There are many algorithms
for this - you might consult Wikipedia for ideas.
