prime_list

prime_list(n, base_primes=[], piter=<generator object prime_iter at 0x7f75e93d9120>): 

LLM Docstring

Return the first n primes using a shared incremental cache.

The default base_primes list and piter generator are intentionally persistent across calls. The cache is extended until the iterator yields more than n entries, then the first n values are returned.

• n: int

  number of primes requested

• base_primes: list[int]

  mutable cache populated in place

• piter: collections.abc.Iterator[list[int]]

  cumulative prime-list iterator used to extend the cache

• :returns: list[int]

  the first n cached primes
