JAPS - YET ANOTHER PRIME SIEVE
 
THE JAVA-TIGER GOES ERATOSTHENES

This is an implementation of a prime number sieve.
The three most important classes are:

All other classes are supporting classes.

Our intention is to show that the famous algorithm of Eratosthenes (276 - 194 BC) is not a silly hack to teach C-programmers how to flip bits and shift masks, but is a wonderful tool to explore the prime numbers. And to give an up-to-date implementation which makes use of the new features of Java 5 and CSharp. Click on the links on the left hand side to study the source code and the docs.
