One way to find prime numbers less than n is to treat them as array indices. Mark each position as True initially, assuming that all numbers are prime. Then, starting with index 2, mark all multiples of 2 (greater than 2) as not prime (False). Repeat this for multiples of 3, then multples of 4, etc. When the algorithm terminates, only prime indices will still be True; everything else will be False. The following function takes an integer n as...
