| - | You can test to see if a number is prime by testing for divisibility by integers greater than one and less than or equal to the square root of the number being tested. | + | You can test to see if a number is prime by testing for divisibility by integers greater than one and less than or equal to the square root of the number being tested. For convenience, the function ''ISqrt'', which computes this largest integer less than the square root of n, has been provided for you below in the Hints section. |

| * Although it is not required, the functions isPrime and isPrimeFast can each be written with a single line of code. Can you figure out how? (If not, a more brute-force recursive implementation will work as well.) | * Although it is not required, the functions isPrime and isPrimeFast can each be written with a single line of code.

| * Since isPrimeFast uses the list primesFast, and primesFast is generated using isPrimeFast, you have to seed it by explicitly including that 2 is a prime number. This can be done as a special case of isPrimeFast or by starting the primesFast list as 2:<the rest of your code to generate it>. | * Since isPrimeFast uses the list primesFast, and primesFast is generated using isPrimeFast, you have to seed it by explicitly including that 2 is a prime number.

| - | * For the lcsLength function, you will need to use an array rather than lists so that you can have random access into the table.

Here is a tutorial on Haskell arrays for how to do this:https://www.haskell.org/tutorial/arrays.html. In particular, pay attention to the "wavefront" example. |

| * Here's some code for a simple function that returns the largest Int value smaller than the square root of another Int. It's pretty straightforward, but it does involve some type conversions that we want to spare you from having to figure out. | * Here's some code for a simple function that returns the largest Int value smaller than the square root of another Int.
