1 Introduction

cl-prime-maker

A simple library to generate big prime numbers in a fast way. But in some cases, the generated number is not a prime number (these are called pseudo-primes).

Translated from the erlang version: http://www.oschina.net/code/snippet_222150_8518

##About pseudo-primes## "The probability of mis-classifying a number is approximately 2^-100. So we can be fairly sure that the classification is correct."

##Usage##

###Load the library###

CL-USER> (ql:quickload "cl-prime-maker")
To load "cl-prime-maker":
  Load 1 ASDF system:
    cl-prime-maker

###Function: cl-prime-maker:make-prime### Generates a random prime P with at least K decimal digits. Returns nil when k <= 0. Returns NIL otherwise. K should be an INTEGER.

###Function: cl-prime-maker:primep### Tests if N is a prime number. Returns T if N is a prime number. Returns NIL otherwise.

NOTES

• If n <= 65535, the detection of whether a number is prime can always get the correct answer.
• If n > 65535, the detection of whether a number is prime is based on the Fermat's little theorem.
