Question

The sieve of Eratosthenes is a way of computing all the prime numbers below a certain number. (A prime number is a number that is only divisible by itself and 1)

Implementing this algorithm should be done without any libraries or importing anything to the program. 

  • Implement a function crossoutmultiples() that takes as arguments a list of boolean values (true/false) called is_prime and a number n. The function sets the boolean values at all multiples of n (2*n, 3*n, 4*n ...) that are in the list to false.
  • Implement a function sieve(n)  which gives back a list of all primes below n. 
    the code : 


    def crossoutmultiples(isprime,n) :
        pass

    def sieve(n):
        pass
