The polynome was goof the error was at the line just after.
I make N= N^2 ((an optimization) but it's good only if you begin at one:
Quote:
- Create a list of consecutive integers from 2 to n: (2, 3, 4, ..., n).
- Initially, let p equal 2, the first prime number.
- Starting from p, count up in increments of p and mark each of these numbers greater than p itself in the list. These numbers will be 2p, 3p, 4p, etc.; note that some of them may have already been marked.
- Find the first number greater than p in the list that is not marked; let p now equal this number (which is the next prime).
- If p is less than n, repeat from step 3. Otherwise, stop.

You can modify
3- Starting from
p^2, count up in increments of
p and mark each of these numbers greater than
p itself in the list. These numbers will be 2
p, 3
p, 4
p, etc.; note that some of them may have already been marked.
not if you make a continue search not a set of continues integers
