How to create the most compact mapping n → isprime(n) up to a limit N?

Question

Naturally, for bool isprime(number) there would be a data structure I could query.
I define the best algorithm, to be the algorithm that pr

Answer 1

import math
import time


def check_prime(n):

    if n == 1:
        return False

    if n == 2:
        return True

    if n % 2 == 0:
        return False

    from_i = 3
    to_i = math.sqrt(n) + 1

    for i in range(from_i, int(to_i), 2):
        if n % i == 0:
            return False
    return True
