## @deftypefn {} {@var{p} =} primes (@var{n})
## Return all primes up to @var{n}.
##
## The output data class (double, single, uint32, etc.@:) is the same as the
## input class of @var{n}.  The algorithm used is the Sieve of Eratosthenes.
##
## Note: If you need a specific number of primes you can use the fact that the
## distance from one prime to the next is, on average, proportional to the
## logarithm of the prime.  Integrating, one finds that there are about
## @math{k} primes less than
## @tex
## $k \log (5 k)$.
## @end tex
## @ifnottex
## k*log (5*k).
## @end ifnottex
##
## See also @code{list_primes} if you need a specific number @var{n} of primes.
## @seealso{list_primes, isprime}
