 +  * You may find the takeWhile function to be useful.
 +  * To help you debug isPrimesFast,​ consider using the primes list (not the primesFast list).
   * 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.  Can you figure out how?  (If not, a more brute-force recursive implementation will work as well.)
-  * For the lcsLength function, you will need to use an array rather than lists so that you can have random access into the table.  ​See the Haskell ​documentation ​for how to do this.+  ​* 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>. 
 +  ​* 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.
