你有一个更快的代码和最简单的代码生成质数。 但对于更大的数字，当n=10000, 10000000时，它不起作用，可能是。pop()方法失败了

考虑:N是质数吗?

case 1: You got some factors of N, for i in range(2, N): If N is prime loop is performed for ~(N-2) times. else less number of times case 2: for i in range(2, int(math.sqrt(N)): Loop is performed for almost ~(sqrt(N)-2) times if N is prime else will break somewhere case 3: Better We Divide N With Only number of primes<=sqrt(N) Where loop is performed for only π(sqrt(N)) times π(sqrt(N)) << sqrt(N) as N increases from math import sqrt from time import * prime_list = [2] n = int(input()) s = time() for n0 in range(2,n+1): for i0 in prime_list: if n0%i0==0: break elif i0>=int(sqrt(n0)): prime_list.append(n0) break e = time() print(e-s) #print(prime_list); print(f'pi({n})={len(prime_list)}') print(f'{n}: {len(prime_list)}, time: {e-s}') Output 100: 25, time: 0.00010275840759277344 1000: 168, time: 0.0008606910705566406 10000: 1229, time: 0.015588521957397461 100000: 9592, time: 0.023436546325683594 1000000: 78498, time: 4.1965954303741455 10000000: 664579, time: 109.24591708183289 100000000: 5761455, time: 2289.130858898163

小于1000似乎很慢，但小于10^6我认为更快。

然而，我无法理解时间的复杂性。

如果你不想重新发明轮子，你可以安装符号数学库symphony(是的，它与Python 3兼容)

pip install sympy

然后使用质数函数

from sympy import sieve
primes = list(sieve.primerange(1, 10**6))

使用Numpy实现的半筛子略有不同:

http://rebrained.com/?p=458

import math
import numpy
def prime6(upto):
    primes=numpy.arange(3,upto+1,2)
    isprime=numpy.ones((upto-1)/2,dtype=bool)
    for factor in primes[:int(math.sqrt(upto))]:
        if isprime[(factor-2)/2]: isprime[(factor*3-2)/2:(upto-1)/2:factor]=0
    return numpy.insert(primes[isprime],0,2)

有人能把这个和其他时间比较一下吗?在我的机器上，它似乎与其他Numpy半筛相当。

第一次使用python，所以我在这里使用的一些方法可能看起来有点麻烦。我只是直接将我的c++代码转换为python，这就是我所拥有的(尽管在python中有点慢)

对于最快的代码，numpy解决方案是最好的。不过，出于纯粹的学术原因，我发布了我的纯python版本，它比上面发布的食谱版本快不到50%。由于我将整个列表放在内存中，所以需要足够的空间来容纳所有内容，但它的可伸缩性似乎相当好。

def daniel_sieve_2(maxNumber):
    """
    Given a number, returns all numbers less than or equal to
    that number which are prime.
    """
    allNumbers = range(3, maxNumber+1, 2)
    for mIndex, number in enumerate(xrange(3, maxNumber+1, 2)):
        if allNumbers[mIndex] == 0:
            continue
        # now set all multiples to 0
        for index in xrange(mIndex+number, (maxNumber-3)/2+1, number):
            allNumbers[index] = 0
    return [2] + filter(lambda n: n!=0, allNumbers)

结果是:

>>>mine = timeit.Timer("daniel_sieve_2(1000000)",
...                    "from sieves import daniel_sieve_2")
>>>prev = timeit.Timer("get_primes_erat(1000000)",
...                    "from sieves import get_primes_erat")
>>>print "Mine: {0:0.4f} ms".format(min(mine.repeat(3, 1))*1000)
Mine: 428.9446 ms
>>>print "Previous Best {0:0.4f} ms".format(min(prev.repeat(3, 1))*1000)
Previous Best 621.3581 ms

这里是最快的函数之一的两个更新版本(纯Python 3.6)，

from itertools import compress

def rwh_primes1v1(n):
    """ Returns  a list of primes < n for n > 2 """
    sieve = bytearray([True]) * (n//2)
    for i in range(3,int(n**0.5)+1,2):
        if sieve[i//2]:
            sieve[i*i//2::i] = bytearray((n-i*i-1)//(2*i)+1)
    return [2,*compress(range(3,n,2), sieve[1:])]

def rwh_primes1v2(n):
    """ Returns a list of primes < n for n > 2 """
    sieve = bytearray([True]) * (n//2+1)
    for i in range(1,int(n**0.5)//2+1):
        if sieve[i]:
            sieve[2*i*(i+1)::2*i+1] = bytearray((n//2-2*i*(i+1))//(2*i+1)+1)
    return [2,*compress(range(3,n,2), sieve[1:])]
