each(ubound = nil, generator = EratosthenesGenerator.new, &block) public

Iterates the given block over all prime numbers.

Parameters

ubound

Optional. An arbitrary positive number. The upper bound of enumeration. The method enumerates prime numbers infinitely if ubound is nil.

generator

Optional. An implementation of pseudo-prime generator.

Return value

An evaluated value of the given block at the last time. Or an enumerator which is compatible to an Enumerator if no block given.

Description

Calls block once for each prime number, passing the prime as a parameter.

ubound

Upper bound of prime numbers. The iterator stops after yields all prime numbers p <= ubound.

Note

Prime.new returns a object extended by Prime::OldCompatibility in order to compatibility to Ruby 1.8, and Prime#each is overwritten by Prime::OldCompatibility#each.

Prime.new is now obsolete. Use Prime.instance.each or simply Prime.each.
