Find Prime

Generates prime numbers using Miller-Rabin probabilistic primality test. Written in Rust.

Development

• Within the repo directory run cargo run START_PRIME MAX_PRIMES_TO_FIND where START_PRIME is your initial prime number to start the primality tests and MAX_PRIMES_TO_FIND is how many primes you'd like to find after your start prime.

• To make a production build, within the repo directory run cargo build --release.

Usage

Once a production release has been built (see Development), within the repo directory run cargo run START_PRIME MAX_PRIMES_TO_FIND (with arguments just like in the Development section).
