A primer for prime numbers
Project description
Brute force functions for teaching purposes. Not performant.
To use as a package:
>>> import primer >>> primer.primes(10) [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29] >>> primer.prime(10) 29 >>> primer.primorial(10) 6469693230 >>> primer.sieve(40) [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37] >>>
To use as a script:
$ python -m primer [-h] [-t] [N]
Display the first N primes.
- positional arguments:
N Number of primes to generate (default: 100)
- optional arguments:
- -h, --help
show this help message and exit
- -t
Display elapsed time (default: False)
