The function prime
provides
fast table lookup to the first 10000 prime numbers (starting from 2 as the
zeroth prime: as 1 isn't terribly useful in practice). There are two function
signatures one of which takes an optional Policy
as the second parameter to control error handling.
The constant max_prime
is
the largest value you can pass to prime
without incurring an error.
Passing a value greater than max_prime
results in a domain_error
being raised.
This function is constexpr
only
if the compiler supports C++14 constexpr functions.
