Submission: 48

Solved: 13

Description
Prime numbers are defined as follows: a number is prime if it is greater than 1 and is evenly divisible only by
itself and 1. Note that by definition neither zero nor one is a prime number.
A palindromic number is one whose string representation is a palindrome, that is, a string that reads the same
backwards and forwards.
You are on the clue crew preparing questions for the category “Palindromic Primes” and are to write a program
to generate the answer and responding question in Jeopardy! style.
Input
The input file contains a series of number pairs (with white space separating them) specifying individual
problems, ending with a pair of zeroes. The first number gives the number of digits for the numbers to be
considered, the second number gives the base in which the numbers are to be generated. The numbers are
separated by a single space. You are assured that all palindromic primes for this problem can be represented in
the range of a standard 32-bit signed integer. The bases allowed are integer bases between 2 and 36 — with
bases above base ten handled as extensions of hexadecimal. This means that the valid numeric digits are in the
range [‘0’..‘9’] and [‘a’..‘z’].
Output
For each number, generate one line giving the number of digits and the base as the answer and then on the next
line the number of palindromic primes found as the question as shown in the sample output. Each output pair
should be separated by a blank line.
