Ascending primes
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Generate and show all primes with strictly ascending decimal digits.
Aside: Try solving without peeking at existing solutions. I had a weird idea for generating a prime sieve faster, which needless to say didn't pan out. The solution may be p(r)etty trivial but generating them quickly is at least mildly interesting. Tip: filtering all 7,027,260 primes below 123,456,789 probably won't kill you, but there is at least one significantly better and much faster way, needing a mere 511 odd/prime tests.

ALGOL 68
Uses Pete's hint to enumerate the 512 possible numbers.
The numbers are generated in order of the first digit, so we have to sort them.
As there are only 512 possible numbers to consider, it doesn't attempt the optimisation that the final digit can't be 4, 6 or 8 and can only be 2 or 5 if it is the only digit (also, I always forget that can't be even thing...).

Factor
The approach taken is to check the members of the powerset of [1..9] (of which there are only 512 if you include the empty set) for primality.

powerset
Using a powerset, the basic idea of which was taken from the Factor entry above, here incrementally built, does not need either recursion or a sort, same output
with javascript_semantics function ascending_primes() sequence res = {}, powerset = {0} while length(powerset) do sequence next = {} for i=1 to length(powerset) do for d=remainder(powerset[i],10)+1 to 9 do next &= powerset[i]*10+d end for end for powerset = next res &= filter(powerset,is_prime) end while return res end function sequence r = apply(true,sprintf,{{"%8d"},ascending_primes()}) printf(1,"There are %,d ascending primes:\n%s\n",{length(r),join_by(r,1,10," ")})
By way of explanation, specifically "no sort rqd", if you pp(shorten(powerset,"entries",3))
at the end of each iteration then you get:

Wren
Version 1 (Sieve)
Although they use a lot of memory, sieves usually produce good results in Wren and here we only need to sieve for primes up to 3456789 as there are just 9 possible candidates with 8 digits and 1 possible candidate with 9 digits which we can test for primality individually. The following runs in around 0.43 seconds. <lang ecmascript>import "./math" for Int import "./seq" for Lst import "./fmt" for Fmt
var isAscending = Fn.new { |n|
if (n < 10) return true var digits = Int.digits(n) for (i in 1...digits.count) { if (digits[i] <= digits[i-1]) return false } return true
}
var higherPrimes = [] var candidates = [
12345678, 12345679, 12345689, 12345789, 12346789, 12356789, 12456789, 13456789, 23456789, 123456789
] for (cand in candidates) if (Int.isPrime(cand)) higherPrimes.add(cand)
var primes = Int.primeSieve(3456789) var ascPrimes = [] for (p in primes) if (isAscending.call(p)) ascPrimes.add(p) ascPrimes.addAll(higherPrimes) System.print("There are %(ascPrimes.count) ascending primes, namely:") for (chunk in Lst.chunks(ascPrimes, 10)) Fmt.print("$8d", chunk)</lang>
- Output:
There are 100 ascending primes, namely: 2 3 5 7 13 17 19 23 29 37 47 59 67 79 89 127 137 139 149 157 167 179 239 257 269 347 349 359 367 379 389 457 467 479 569 1237 1249 1259 1279 1289 1367 1459 1489 1567 1579 1789 2347 2357 2389 2459 2467 2579 2689 2789 3457 3467 3469 4567 4679 4789 5689 12347 12379 12457 12479 12569 12589 12689 13457 13469 13567 13679 13789 15679 23459 23567 23689 23789 25679 34589 34679 123457 123479 124567 124679 125789 134789 145679 234589 235679 235789 245789 345679 345689 1234789 1235789 1245689 1456789 12356789 23456789
Version 2 (Generator)
Here we generate all possible positive integers with ascending non-zero digits and filter out those that are prime.
Much quicker than the 'sieve' approach at 0.013 seconds. I also tried using a powerset but that was slightly slower at 0.015 seconds. <lang ecmascript>import "./set" for Set import "./math" for Int import "./seq" for Lst import "./fmt" for Fmt
var ascPrimes = Set.new() // avoids duplicates
var generate // recursive function generate = Fn.new { |first, cand, digits|
if (digits == 0) { if (Int.isPrime(cand)) ascPrimes.add(cand) return } var i = first while (i <= 9) { var next = cand * 10 + i generate.call(i + 1, next, digits - 1) i = i + 1 }
}
for (digits in 1..9) generate.call(1, 0, digits) ascPrimes = ascPrimes.toList ascPrimes.sort() System.print("There are %(ascPrimes.count) ascending primes, namely:") for (chunk in Lst.chunks(ascPrimes, 10)) Fmt.print("$8s", chunk)</lang>
- Output:
