Most efficient code for the first 10000 prime numbers?

Question

I want to print the first 10000 prime numbers. Can anyone give me the most efficient code for this? Clarifications:

1. It does not matter if your code is ineffici

Answer 1

I have written this using python, as I just started learning it, and it works perfectly fine. The 10,000th prime generate by this code as same as mentioned in http://primes.utm.edu/lists/small/10000.txt. To check if n is prime or not, divide n by the numbers from 2 to sqrt(n). If any of this range of number perfectly divides n then it's not prime.

import math
print ("You want prime till which number??")
a = input()
a = int(a)
x = 0
x = int(x)
count = 1
print("2 is prime number")
for c in range(3,a+1):
    b = math.sqrt(c)
    b = int(b)
    x = 0
    for b in range(2,b+1):
        e  = c % b
        e = int(e)
        if (e == 0):
            x = x+1
    if (x == 0):
        print("%d is prime number" % c)
        count = count + 1
print("Total number of prime till %d is %d" % (a,count))
