Linear Sieve Method for Prime Numbers

Problem description:When we calculate for prime numbers with a sieve method,we delete so many numbers which is not necessary repeatly.For instance,there is a number which consists of 3x7x17x23,and we delete it when we delete the multiples of 3 as we delete the same number when we delete the multiples of 7,17,and 23.Please write a program that will not do these jobs more than once.
   
Thinking: There is a factorization theorem:every composite number could be decomposed into the multiplication of some primer numbers.Hence,the number can be decomposed in the form of  (both of p and q are prime numbers and p < q).Therefore,what we need to remove is:,,...and,i=1,2,3.....The value of p and q is the numbers which are not removed currently and in a sequence from small to large.It is easy to write the program.

 6                        next[previous[x]]=next[x];       \

 7                    }

10                        for(i=2;i<=n;i++)                   \

11                            previous[i]=i-1,next[i]=i+1;    \
