The set of prime numbers¶
AUTHORS:
William Stein (2005): original version
Florent Hivert (2009-11): adapted to the category framework. The following methods were removed:
- cardinality, __len__, __iter__: provided by EnumeratedSets
- __cmp__(self, other): __eq__ is provided by UniqueRepresentation and seems to do as good a job (all test pass)

Primes
¶ The set of prime numbers.
EXAMPLES:
sage: P = Primes(); P Set of all prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, ...
We show various operations on the set of prime numbers:
sage: P.cardinality() +Infinity sage: R = Primes() sage: P == R True sage: 5 in P True sage: 100 in P False sage: len(P) Traceback (most recent call last): ... NotImplementedError: infinite set
