::::Another question -- suppose a lookup table is created by picking a million numbers from a random number table, and an algorithm is created that halts only when given an input that is in the lookup table. Would that algorithm determine an r.e. set? [[User:Wanderer57|Wanderer57]] ([[User talk:Wanderer57|talk]]) 15:45, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
:::::Yes. Every finite (or co-finite) set of natural numbers is recursively enumerable. Indeed, they are recursive. [[User:JRSpriggs|JRSpriggs]] ([[User talk:JRSpriggs|talk]]) 16:13, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
