= Legendre sieve
{wiki=Legendre_sieve}
The Legendre sieve is a mathematical algorithm used in number theory for finding prime numbers within a certain range. It is based on the idea of sieving out composite numbers from a list of integers by marking the multiples of each prime number. Here's an overview of how the Legendre sieve works: 1. **Initialization**: You start with a range of integers, such as all integers from \\( 2 \\) to \\( n \\), where \\( n \\) is your upper limit.
