This approach to count prime numbers based on tables is very useful (for me), thanks.
There are more than 305 million primes in the interval [1841378967856, 1850000000000]. What am I doing wrong: julia> genprimes(1841378967856, 1850000000000] 0-element Array{Int64,1} Or is the sieve getting too large for numbers > 1^12 ? Also, I don't believe this result: julia> countprimes(100000, 200000, tuplet = 6) 0 Octetts of prime numbers are very interesting, even in theory, but function 'countprimes' does not allow to search for them: julia> countprimes(1000000, 2000000, tuplet = 8) ERROR: tuplet must be between 1 and 6 in countprimes at /home/hwb/.julia/v0.3/PrimeSieve/src/wrappers.jl:37 Could you allow at least 'tuplet=8'? I know that the first octett is shortly above 1 million.
