Decades ago, I was a regular visitor to the Liaquat National Memorial Library in Karachi, where I spent countless hours reading books. Although I no longer remember how and when my first visit to the library happened, I still fondly remember spending several hours over many years in the library's reading hall, reading books on different subjects. While computer programming books were my primary interest, I also enjoyed reading books on various subjects and browsing through different newspapers. It was at this library that I first discovered books on Lisp and Prolog, but my true passion was for books on C programming language, and I was fortunate to find an impressive collection of high-quality titles on the subject.

.

The Liaquat National Memorial Library offered a serene and peaceful environment, conducive to learning. After a few visits, I realized that arriving early was crucial to securing a seat in the vast reading hall, which was always in high demand. This knowledge motivated me to arrive promptly on subsequent visits, ensuring that I could fully utilize the library's resources and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere.

.

The Liaquat National Memorial Library's proximity to PTV Karachi offered a thrilling bonus - glimpses of TV stars of the time, such as Subhani ba Yunus, during my visits. One afternoon, I even spotted the renowned Pakistani movie star, Mohammad Ali, standing by the library entrance, engaged in conversation with someone. I believe he was a federal minister at the time. Unfortunately, my focus was elsewhere, preoccupied with getting photocopied chapters of a Unix book, and I missed the opportunity to request his autograph. I still recall his tall stature, pinkish-white complexion, and warm smile. It's a memory I cherish, even if I didn't get his signature.

.

Let's come to the topic of this blog post. During one of my visits to the Liaquat National Memorial Library, I requested the latest edition of the Guinness Book of World Records. While browsing through its pages, I stumbled upon a fascinating entry about a competition to discover prime numbers with a larger number of digits than any previously known prime number. Since I was already familiar with the process of determining whether a number is prime or not, an idea struck me: why not use a computer to find some prime numbers myself?

.

Since then, I have been exploring various software applications at my disposal to develop programs for discovering a vast number of prime numbers. Over time, I have utilized a range of computers and softwares, which are listed as follows:

.

Turbo C version 2 ON Pentium 2 and Pentium 3 Html and JScript ON Pentium 4 GCC ON Pentium 3 and i5 C# 6 ON Pentium 3 C# 2008 ON Pentium 4 C# 2010 ON i5

.

Across various software platforms and at different times, I experimented with diverse methods for discovering prime numbers, including the 'long hand division method' and various iterations of the 'Sieve method'. Additionally, I persistently researched online, stumbling upon websites showcasing extensive lists of prime numbers, such as the first million prime numbers. This sparked a thought - I too have amassed a substantial collection of prime numbers on my computer's hard drive. Why not share my findings, even if I'm not the first to discover them, on the internet someday?

.

As a result, I reran the current version of my prime number finding application to explore prime numbers within various upper limits under 32000000002. Notably, when setting the upper limit to 20000000, I discovered approximately a little more than one million prime numbers. I'm sharing below some of the outputs from these prime number searches. So far the maximum I reached for continuous list of prime numbers is as follows:

.

Range......................: [2 and 32000000002] inclusive Prime numbers found.: [1382799415] Largest prime number: [31999999987]

.

In previous version of this post I had shared a list of first "6542" prime numbers, under 2^16, I found using software made by me using C# 2010. In previous versions of this post I had also shared links to files containing first 1270607 prime numbers I found under 20000000 using an application I made in c# 2010.

.

Today in this post in the following I am shareing screeshots of the application which is under descussion in this post and this post's previous version.

Following are screenshots of the application I took at different stages of application.

Few days ago I specially searched on hard-drive of computer for an application I had made some years ago in c# (c sharp) for demonstrating a progressbar (user control). I had made that demonstration applicaton for testing progressbar usercontrol I had made in c# (c sharp). After finding that application I ran it for some time and after testing/revising it's different options I took and saved some screen-shots at different levels/states of application. I did that for sharing online. I had named that progressbar "FancyProgressbar - 3".

.

In this blog entry I am going to discus that progressbar in some detail.

.

First the purpose of making this progressbar was to have a progressbar which can display progress status of the process over it. This progressbar can display, user chose-able, following type of information over it:

.

Progress status/state Ready Working Cancel Error Complete Progress percent Completed Remaining Time Elapsed Remaining

.

Following are some screen-shots of the above mentioned progressbar demonstrating application I made in c#.

I learned playing Chess from my father, in my childhood, on chessboard which my father won in some competition in AJK. All my siblings learned playing chess from our father and we often used to play chess with each other. As we grew playing chess with each other on that chessboard, chessboard and it’s chess-pieces started showing signs of decay because of it’s age and use.

.

So I put that chessboard in safe place to make sure chessboard did not get damaged any further and remain with us for next generations. For playing chess I bought a new chessboard and chess-pieces set. After doing so some decades ago I started trying to make computer game for Chess also.

.

During online research for making computer chess game I came across many chess puzzles like "N Queen Puzzle" and "Knight tour" etc. A few years earlier than that online research I had also read about these types of puzzles in books on AI programming (prolog, lisp) in "Liaquat Memorial Library - Karachi".

.

These chess puzzles inspired me to make my own application for solving them on computer. I kept making them using different softwares. First time I made “N Queen” and “Knight tour” puzzle solving software in HTML/JavaScript and last time in C# (In between attempts I no longer remember).

.

This post is about an application "N Queen - 2". I made this application in year 2013 in c# for solving N-Queen Puzzle using computer. This application can solve N-Queen puzzles from 4*4 to 30*30 size chessboards. Optionally it can save results in file also.

.

[ N Queen puzzle (definition) ]

The N queens puzzle is the Puzzle of placing N chess queens on an NxN chessboard so that no two queens threaten/attack each other; thus, a solution requires that no two queens share the same row, column, or diagonal.

.

[ Application's UI and Working: ]

Application's user interface and how to use it is explained in the following.

user have to select chessboard side size on which depends how many Queens to place on chessboard. Count of Queens is equal to size of chessboard side. User also have to select whether to find first solution only or to find all solutions. User also have to select whether to save result to file or not. If save to file selected than use also have to select folder where results will be saved. Calculation is started by clicking Start button. Calculation is canceled by clicking Cancel button. Running results are displayed in Output form. Current status is displayed in status line. Application log is displayed in Combo-box.

Following are the screen shots of 'N Queen - 2' application with explanation.

Out of that search result list I found a progressbar project which was next version (version 3) of above mentioned progressbar project (version 2). I ran that version 3 few times and then made another project based on it for sharing here and named it “FG ProgressBar – 3.1”. I made some modification, improvements to UI and logic of the new project. When I found workings and looks of the new application Ok then I took it’s ScreenShots at it’s different stages. After that I added watermarks to all ScreenShots.

.

This progressbar version 3.1 application is a demo project. First it demonstrates a good and simple looking progressbar. Second it demonstrates how to find prime numbers between 2 randomly selected numbers with a gap of 100000000. Third it demonstrates how to create a form programmatically and use it to show Help information.

.

A simple looking progressbar:

This simple looking progressbar is actually made of 3 controls one TableLayoutPanel with one row and two columns and two Labels. First Label for showing completed progress and second Label for showing remaining progress. Resultant Progressbar is made to look simple and user friendly. Progressbar displays status of process end with 3 colors. Green is for SUCCESS, Orange is for CANCEL and Red is for ERROR. This progressbar’s use is demonstrated during finding of prime numbers.

.

Finding Prime numbers:

Application runs a long process for finding prime numbers between 2 randomly generated numbers with a gap of 100000000 and updates fancy progressbar based on calculated percentage of work done by that process for each number it processes. Method for finding prime number is not optimized for speed or space. It is used here for having a long process for Fancy progressbar demo.

.

Creating Form programmatically:

Help information is displayed through a form created dynamically / programmatically on the fly. First Form is created second a control is added, RichTextBox in this case, third some properties of Form and RichTextBox are set according to needs (like Help info to Text property of RichTextBox) and fourth form with Help information is displayed.

.

Application's UI and Working:

Application's user interface and how to use it is explained row wise in the following.

This row displays title of application. This row displays minimum number for processing when "Start" button is clicked. This row displays maximum number for processing when "Start" button is clicked. This rows displays primes found count during processing. This rows displays primes found percent during processing. Thirs row is for telling long process to generate error or not. This row contains 2 buttons: Start: For starting lengthy process. Stop: For stoping/canceling lengthy process. This row contain 2 buttons: Show Help: This button displays help form for this application. Exit: This button is for exiting from this application. This row contains 3 controls: Lable for displaying application status. Progressbar_3.1: This is the progressbar for which thlis application is made. Label for displaying progress percentage.

Application's Help form looks like this and it is displayed when 'Show Help' button is clicked. It displays some basic information about application. Working of main Form is not blocked by display of Help form. Help window uses different color on each load which it randomly selects from "Black, Blue, Green, Purple, DarkOrange, Red and DarkCyan". I used creation date of the original project version 3 in Help info.
