Cousin primes
- Definitions
In mathematics, cousin primes are prime numbers that differ by four.
For the purposes of this task a cousin prime pair is a pair of non-negative integers of the form [n, n + 4] whose elements are both primes.
- Task
Write a program to determine (and show here) all cousin prime pairs whose elements are both less than 1,000.
Optionally, show the number of such pairs.

(In this example, we can get away with finding primes where adding 4 gives us another prime. But if the task had asked for cousin prime pairs less than 100, we would want to avoid the pair 97,101. And the simplest way of addressing that issue would have been to find primes where subtracting 4 gives us another prime.)

Filter

say grep *.all.is-prime, map { $_, $_+4 }, 2..999;

Infinite List
A more efficient and versatile approach is to generate an infinite list of cousin primes, using this info from https://oeis.org/A023200 :
- Apart from the first term, all terms are of the form 6n + 1.
constant @cousins = (3, 7, *+6 … *).map: -> \n { (n, n+4) if (n & n+4).is-prime };
my $count = @cousins.first: :k, *.[0] > 1000;
.say for @cousins.head($count).batch(9);
- Output:
