另一个Python实现比死亡面具推销员的答案更直接，也更快:

import numpy as np

def prime_numbers(limit: int) -> list[int]:
    """Provide a list of all prime numbers <= the limit."""
    is_prime = np.full((limit + 1, ), True)
    is_prime[0:2] = False
    for n in range(2, limit + 1):
        if is_prime[n]:
            is_prime[n**2::n] = False
    return list(np.where(is_prime)[0])

你可以进一步优化，例如，排除2，或者硬编码更多质数，但我想保持简单。

*示例运行时比较(注意:我使用了其他实现的优化形式，见我的评论):

我会让你决定这是不是最快的。

using System;
namespace PrimeNumbers
{

public static class Program
{
    static int primesCount = 0;


    public static void Main()
    {
        DateTime startingTime = DateTime.Now;

        RangePrime(1,1000000);   

        DateTime endingTime = DateTime.Now;

        TimeSpan span = endingTime - startingTime;

        Console.WriteLine("span = {0}", span.TotalSeconds);

    }


    public static void RangePrime(int start, int end)
    {
        for (int i = start; i != end+1; i++)
        {
            bool isPrime = IsPrime(i);
            if(isPrime)
            {
                primesCount++;
                Console.WriteLine("number = {0}", i);
            }
        }
        Console.WriteLine("primes count = {0}",primesCount);
    }



    public static bool IsPrime(int ToCheck)
    {

        if (ToCheck == 2) return true;
        if (ToCheck < 2) return false;


        if (IsOdd(ToCheck))
        {
            for (int i = 3; i <= (ToCheck / 3); i += 2)
            {
                if (ToCheck % i == 0) return false;
            }
            return true;
        }
        else return false; // even numbers(excluding 2) are composite
    }

    public static bool IsOdd(int ToCheck)
    {
        return ((ToCheck % 2 != 0) ? true : false);
    }
}
}

在我使用2.40 GHz处理器的酷睿2 Duo笔记本电脑上，查找并打印1到1,000,000范围内的质数大约需要82秒。它找到了78,498个质数。

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int set [1000000];

int main (){

    for (int i=0; i<1000000; i++){
        set [i] = 0;
    }
    int set_size= 1000;
    set [set_size];
    set [0] = 2;
    set [1] = 3;
    int Ps = 0;
    int last = 2;

    cout << 2 << " " << 3 << " ";

    for (int n=1; n<10000; n++){
        int t = 0;
        Ps = (n%2)+1+(3*n);
        for (int i=0; i==i; i++){
            if (set [i] == 0) break;
            if (Ps%set[i]==0){
                t=1;
                break;
            }
        }
        if (t==0){
            cout << Ps << " ";
            set [last] = Ps;
            last++;
        }
    }
    //cout << last << endl;


    cout << endl;

    system ("pause");
    return 0;
}

这是我一直在玩的埃拉托色尼筛子的Python实现。

def eratosthenes(maximum: int) -> list[int | None]:
    """
    Find all the prime numbers between 2 and `maximum`.

    Args:
        maximum: The maximum number to check.

    Returns:
        A list of primes between 2 and `maximum`.
    """

    if maximum < 2:
        return []

    # Discard even numbers by default.
    sequence = dict.fromkeys(range(3, maximum+1, 2), True)

    for num, is_prime in sequence.items():
        # Already filtered, let's skip it.
        if not is_prime:
            continue

        # Avoid marking the same number twice.
        for num2 in range(num ** 2, maximum+1, num):
            # Here, `num2` might contain an even number - skip it.
            if num2 in sequence:
                sequence[num2] = False

    # Re-add 2 as prime and filter out the composite numbers.
    return [2] + [num for num, is_prime in sequence.items() if is_prime]

在一台简陋的三星Galaxy A40上，该代码大约需要16秒才能输入10000000个数字。

欢迎提出建议!

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

void main()
{
    int num,i,j,prime;
    cout<<"Enter the upper limit :";
    cin>>num;

    cout<<"Prime numbers till "<<num<<" are :2, ";

    for(i=3;i<=num;i++)
    {
        prime=1;
        for(j=2;j<i;j++)
        {
            if(i%j==0)
            {
                prime=0;
                break;
            }
        }

        if(prime==1)
            cout<<i<<", ";

    }
}

我总是用这种方法来计算筛子算法后面的质数。

void primelist()
 {
   for(int i = 4; i < pr; i += 2) mark[ i ] = false;
   for(int i = 3; i < pr; i += 2) mark[ i ] = true; mark[ 2 ] = true;
   for(int i = 3, sq = sqrt( pr ); i < sq; i += 2)
       if(mark[ i ])
          for(int j = i << 1; j < pr; j += i) mark[ j ] = false;
  prime[ 0 ] = 2; ind = 1;
  for(int i = 3; i < pr; i += 2)
    if(mark[ i ]) ind++; printf("%d\n", ind);
 }
