# --description--
|
|
|
|
Write a generator of prime numbers, in order, that will automatically adjust to accommodate the generation of any reasonably high prime.
|
|
|
|
The generator should be able to:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Show the first <code>n</code> prime numbers</li>
|
|
<li>Show the prime numbers in a range</li>
|
|
<li>Show the number of primes in a range</li>
|
|
<li>Show the <code>n<sup>th</sup></code> prime number</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
The function should have two parameters. The first will receive `n` or the range as an array. The second will receive a boolean, that specifies if the function returns the prime numbers as an array or a single number(the number of primes in the range or the <code>n<sup>th</sup></code> prime). According to the parameters the function should return an array.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`primeGenerator` should be a function.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof primeGenerator === 'function');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`primeGenerator(20, true)` should return `[2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71]`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.deepEqual(primeGenerator(20, true), [
|
|
2,
|
|
3,
|
|
5,
|
|
7,
|
|
11,
|
|
13,
|
|
17,
|
|
19,
|
|
23,
|
|
29,
|
|
31,
|
|
37,
|
|
41,
|
|
43,
|
|
47,
|
|
53,
|
|
59,
|
|
61,
|
|
67,
|
|
71
|
|
]);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`primeGenerator([100, 150], true)` should return `[101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 127, 131, 137, 139, 149]`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.deepEqual(primeGenerator([100, 150], true), [
|
|
101,
|
|
103,
|
|
107,
|
|
109,
|
|
113,
|
|
127,
|
|
131,
|
|
137,
|
|
139,
|
|
149
|
|
]);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`primeGenerator([7700, 8000], false)` should return `30`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.equal(primeGenerator([7700, 8000], false), 30);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`primeGenerator(10000, false)` should return `104729`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.equal(primeGenerator(10000, false), 104729);
|
|
```
