cl-prime-maker

A simple library to generate big prime numbers in a fast way. But in some cases, the generated number is not a prime number (these are called pseudo-primes).

Translated from the erlang version: http://www.oschina.net/code/snippet_222150_8518

About pseudo-primes

“The probability of mis-classifying a number is approximately 2^-100. So we can be fairly sure that the classification is correct.”

Usage

Function: cl-prime-maker:make-prime

Generates a random prime P with at least K decimal digits. Returns nil when k ⇐ 0. Returns NIL otherwise. K should be an INTEGER.

Function: cl-prime-maker:primep

Tests if N is a prime number. Returns T if N is a prime number. Returns NIL otherwise.

NOTES * If n ⇐ 65535, the detection of whether a number is prime can always get the correct answer. * If n > 65535, the detection of whether a number is prime is based on the Fermat's little theorem.

Function: cl-prime-maker:get-nth-prime

Generate the Nth prime number when N >= 1. Otherwise, this function always returns 2.

NOTES * This function will cache some intermediate results to speed up the computation.
