Comments

First term prime(2) = 3 is placed on 0th row.

If prime(n-1) = +1 mod 4 is on k-th row then we put prime(n) on (k-1)-st row.

If prime(n-1) = -1 mod 4 is on k-th row then we put prime(n) on (k+1)-st row.

This process makes an array of prime numbers:

3, 7, 19, 43, ....0th row

5, 11, 17, 23, 31, 41, 47, 59, 67, 103, 127, ....first row

13, 29, 37, 53, 61, 71, 79, 101, 107, 113 ....2nd row

73, 83, 97, 109, ....3rd row

89, ....4th row
