+# Sieve
+
+Use the Sieve of Eratosthenes to find all the primes from 2 up to a given
+number.
+
+The Sieve of Eratosthenes is a simple, ancient algorithm for finding all
+prime numbers up to any given limit. It does so by iteratively marking as
+composite (i.e. not prime) the multiples of each prime, starting with the
+multiples of 2. It does not use any division or remainder operation.
+
+Create your range, starting at two and continuing up to and including the given limit. (i.e. [2, limit])
+
+The algorithm consists of repeating the following over and over:
+
+- take the next available unmarked number in your list (it is prime)
+- mark all the multiples of that number (they are not prime)
+
+Repeat until you have processed each number in your range.
+
+When the algorithm terminates, all the numbers in the list that have not
+been marked are prime.
+
+The wikipedia article has a useful graphic that explains the algorithm:
+https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Eratosthenes
+
+Notice that this is a very specific algorithm, and the tests don't check
+that you've implemented the algorithm, only that you've come up with the
+correct list of primes. A good first test is to check that you do not use
+division or remainder operations (div, /, mod or % depending on the
+language).
+
+## Rust Installation
+
+Refer to the [exercism help page][help-page] for Rust installation and learning
+resources.
+
+## Writing the Code
+
+Execute the tests with:
+
+```bash
+$ cargo test
+```
+
+All but the first test have been ignored. After you get the first test to
+pass, open the tests source file which is located in the `tests` directory
+and remove the `#[ignore]` flag from the next test and get the tests to pass
+again. Each separate test is a function with `#[test]` flag above it.
+Continue, until you pass every test.
+
+If you wish to run all ignored tests without editing the tests source file, use:
+
+```bash
+$ cargo test -- --ignored
+```
+
+To run a specific test, for example `some_test`, you can use:
+
+```bash
+$ cargo test some_test
+```
+
+If the specific test is ignored use:
+
+```bash
+$ cargo test some_test -- --ignored
+```
+
+To learn more about Rust tests refer to the [online test documentation][rust-tests]
+
+Make sure to read the [Modules][modules] chapter if you
+haven't already, it will help you with organizing your files.
+
+## Further improvements
+
+After you have solved the exercise, please consider using the additional utilities, described in the [installation guide](https://exercism.io/tracks/rust/installation), to further refine your final solution.
+
+To format your solution, inside the solution directory use
+
+```bash
+cargo fmt
+```
+
+To see, if your solution contains some common ineffective use cases, inside the solution directory use
+
+```bash
+cargo clippy --all-targets
+```
+
+## Submitting the solution
+
+Generally you should submit all files in which you implemented your solution (`src/lib.rs` in most cases). If you are using any external crates, please consider submitting the `Cargo.toml` file. This will make the review process faster and clearer.
+
