#include <codecogs/maths/discrete/number_theory/primes.h>

using namespace Maths::Discrete::Number_Theory;

This function returns one of the first <em> 1600 </em> prime numbers directly, starting with 2, 3, and ending with 13499. A null value of the order is also valid, generating the result 1.

Example 1

#include <codecogs/maths/discrete/number_theory/primes.h>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
  std::cout << "The first 10 prime numbers" << std::endl;
  for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++)
    std::cout << Maths::Discrete::NumberTheory::primes(i) << "  ";
  std::cout << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

Output:

The first 10 prime numbers
2  3  5  7  11  13  17  19  23

Parameters

n
the desired order (between 0 and 1600)

Returns

the prime number of order n
