A mathematician, a physicist, an engineer, and a programmer were discussing the theorem that all odd numbers are prime.
Mathematician: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is not prime. The theorem is false.
Physicist: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is not, 11 is…. The theorem is true, within experimental error.
Engineer: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is prime, 11 is prime…. The theorem is true.
Programmer: 3 is prime, 3 is prime, 3 is prime….
i dont get it
i didnt get it
People are right, 1 is not A prime number
ditto nikki 1 is a special number since it can only be divided by 1 so technically it wouldnt work.

o gawd, ze commentz almost killed me!
1 isnt a prime #
u are stupid anonymouse, the joke is fine that way... you're clearly not a programmer... and more clearly a not so smart person
Uh, I think you mean:
Programmer: 1 is prime, 1 is prime, 1 is prime.
Binary is made of 1's and 0's, so that's sort of mildly amusing. The 3's thing just doesn't make any sense. Your joke sucks.
The title of the joke is infinite loop. An infinite loop is what happens when a line of code is constantly repeated once it is started without a hardware interrupt or loss of power. The 3 is a prime being repeated demonstrates the infinite loop error in the programmer's code. That is the joke. As for the slur against the engineer getting 9 as a prime that is a common mathematician's claim that engineers take shortcuts in math and do not test the theorem properly.
