Daily Coding Problem: Problem #677

/**
 *The Sieve of Eratosthenes is an algorithm used to generate all prime numbers smaller than N.
 * The method is to take increasingly larger prime numbers, and mark their multiples as composite.
For example, to find all primes less than 100, we would first mark [4, 6, 8, ...] (multiples of two), then [6, 9, 12, ...] (multiples of three),
and so on. Once we have done this for all primes less than N, the unmarked numbers that remain will be prime.
Implement this algorithm.
Bonus: Create a generator that produces primes indefinitely (that is, without taking N as an input).
