## Prime Number Generator
## Prime Number Generator
A prime number generator is used to generate prime numbers. Prime number generating algorithms are used extensively in computer science for various applications, examples: [Hashing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table), [Public-key Cryptography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography), etc.
Here are few online prime numbers generators:

There are various algorithms to generate prime numbers. Here's a link to one of the most efficient algorithms to generate prime numbers less than a number "n"
