package java.math;

A simple bit sieve used for finding prime number candidates. Allows setting and clearing of bits in a storage array. The size of the sieve is assumed to be constant to reduce overhead. All the bits of a new bitSieve are zero, and bits are removed from it by setting them. To reduce storage space and increase efficiency, no even numbers are represented in the sieve (each bit in the sieve represents an odd number). The relationship between the index of a bit and the number it represents is given by N = offset + (2*index + 1); Where N is the integer represented by a bit in the sieve, offset is some even integer offset indicating where the sieve begins, and index is the index of a bit in the sieve array.

Construct a "small sieve" with a base of 0. This constructor is used internally to generate the set of "small primes" whose multiples are excluded from sieves generated by the main (package private) constructor, BitSieve(BigInteger base, int searchLen). The length of the sieve generated by this constructor was chosen for performance; it controls a tradeoff between how much time is spent constructing other sieves, and how much time is wasted testing composite candidates for primality. The length was chosen experimentally to yield good performance.
