Problem set 1: Computing prime numbers, product of primes

This one's a little trickier, so feel free to comment if you run into any problems or want to brainstorm with other people!

I don't know if I'm helping or being annoying but I went back and worked through each example in the Python Programming Wikibook and tinkered with each one, seeing what variations did, so I still have no clue how to implement ungemmed's pseudocode yet (that's about as far as I got with my own) but at least I'm getting the idea of how to define variables and manipulate them.

I'm a lot like you, I think. This is my first non-HTML code because I self-taught in HTML by taking other people's source code and manipulating it to see how they'd done what they did. Hang in there a little longer and see if it clicks? If not, I don't mean to push you or frustrate you more.

I'm glad to read these comments--I haven't had a chance to start working on this problem set for real yet, but I had to talk myself down from panicking. I'm going to try your suggestion and work through the rest of the examples, and perhaps some of it will start to sink in.

I'm grateful to have a community working on this stuff--thanks to all of you who have commented.
