 ## The Sieve of Eratosthenes
 
-Prime numbers have many modern day applications and a long history in mathematics. Utilizing your own resources research the sieve of Eratosthenes, an algorithm for generating prime numbers. Based on your research, implement an API that allows the caller to retrieve the Nth prime number.
-Some stub code and a test suite have been provided as a convenience, however, you are encouraged to deviate from Eratosthenes's algorithm, modify the existing functions/methods or anything else that might showcase your ability provided the following requirements are satisfied.
-Stub code has been provided in Go, C#, and Javascript. Please use the language that is most appropriate based on your own skillset

+the existing test outcomes; eg- f(0)=2, f(19)=71, f(99)=541, ..., f(10000000)=179424691
