Prime Number Sieves in Python

This repo contains different Python scripts to find prime numbers.

All three implementations are optimized to skip even numbers for better performance.


Scripts

1. sieve_of_eratosthenes.py

The classic method to find all primes up to a number upper_limit.


2. sieve_of_eratosthenes_triangular_sum.py

A more experimental version of the sieve of eratosthenes using triangular number logic.


3. segmented_sieve.py

Used for finding primes in a specific range, like [start, stop].


How to Run

Run any file with Python 3:

python sieve_of_eratosthenes.py
