Almost prime

Almost prime
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

A   k-Almost-prime   is a natural number   $n$   that is the product of   $k$   (possibly identical) primes.

Example

1-almost-primes,   where   $k=1$,   are the prime numbers themselves.
2-almost-primes,   where   $k=2$,   are the   semiprimes.

Task

Write a function/method/subroutine/... that generates k-almost primes and use it to create a table here of the first ten members of k-Almost primes for   $1<=K<=5$.

ALGOL 68

Worth noticing is the n(...)(...) picture in the printf and the WHILE ... DO SKIP OD idiom which is quite common in ALgol 68.

      WHILE tf < residue DO
	 INT remainder = residue MOD tf;
	 ( remainder = 0 | count +:= 1; residue %:= tf | tf +:= 1 )
      OD;
      count
   END;
   PROC update table = (REF []SEMIPRIME table, INT i) BOOL :

Explanation:

1. Generate 10 primes.
2. Multiply each of them by the first ten primes
3. Sort and find unique values, take the first ten of those
4. Multiply each of them by the first ten primes
5. Sort and find unique values, take the first ten of those

...

The results of the odd steps in this procedure are the desired result.

Perl

Using a CPAN module, which is simple and fast:

Library: ntheory

use ntheory qw/factor/;
sub almost {
  my($k,$n) = @_;
  my $i = 1;
  map { $i++ while scalar factor($i) != $k; $i++ } 1..$n;
}
say "$_ : ", join(" ", almost($_,10)) for 1..5;

Output:

1 : 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29
2 : 4 6 9 10 14 15 21 22 25 26

5 : 32 48 72 80 108 112 120 162 168 176

or writing everything by hand:

The method used is to count the number of factors in the number to determine the K-primality.

The first three   k-almost   primes for each   K   group are computed directly   (rather than found).

optimized version

This optimized REXX version can be   over a hundred times   faster than the naive version.

Some of the optimizations are:

•   calculating the first   2^(K-1)   K─almost primes for each   K   group
•   generating the primes (up to the limit) instead of dividing by (most) divisors.
•   extending the   up-front   prime divisors in the factr function.

The 1^st optimization (bullet) allows the direct computation   (instead of searching)   of all K─almost primes up to the first   odd   prime in the list.

Once the required primes are generated, the finding of the K─almost primes is almost instantaneous.
