Converting a bunch of prime numbers into a set

for i in range(2, 100):
  prime = True
  for k in range(2, i):
    if i % k == 0:
      prime = False
      break
  if prime:
      print(i)

the Outcome is:

2
3
5
7
11
13
17
19
23
29
31
37
41
43
47
53
59
61
67
71
73
79
83
89
97

Is it possible for the outcome to be placed in a set or a list?

Solution

  • For set do something like this

    st = set()
for i in range(2, 100):
  prime = True
  for k in range(2, i):
    if i % k == 0:
      prime = False
      break
  if prime:
      st.add(i)

print(st)

    For list do something like this

    lst = list()
for i in range(2, 100):
  prime = True
  for k in range(2, i):
    if i % k == 0:
      prime = False
      break
  if prime:
      lst.append(i)

print(lst)
