Is there a way to use the prime function to find the prime numbers between two numbers? I want to find the prime numbers between 20,000 and 10,000 and save that to a variable. primes(20000) gives me them all the way to zero and if i try to subtract primes(20000) and primes(10000) it won't let me because there not the same size. Any ideas? Thanks.

1.) make array of range: range = [10000:1:20000]
2.) create logical array of (range) displaying which numbers are prime: isprime(range)
3.) find total amount of prime numbers within that range: number_of_primes = sum(isprime(range))
4.) i got the answer of 1033 prime numbers between 10K and 20K

k = 1e4:2e4;
out = k(isprime(k));
variant
prms = primes(20000);
out = prms(prms>=10000);
