I have just created a prime number finder with a for loop that runs over time. Right now its at 167899 and growing every second.

What is the max number of loops a for loop can go through??? If its an ungodly big number I don't want to be waiting all night to see what is the max prime number I can generate.

Is it infinite?

Here is my code:

        var isNotPrime = false;

        var currentNumber = 3;

        var primeArray = [2];



        function prime(){

            isNotPrime = false;

            for(a=0; a<primeArray.length; a++){

                if(currentNumber%primeArray[a] === 0){

                    isNotPrime = true;

                }

                if(a===(primeArray.length-1) && isNotPrime ===false){

                        document.write(currentNumber+<BR>);

                        primeArray.push(currentNumber);

                }

                if(a===(primeArray.length-1)){

                    currentNumber++;

                }

            } 

        }



        var main = setInterval(prime, 1);



        window.alert(Starting search for Prime Numbers!);
