Line 1: {{task\|Prime Numbers}} ~~:ref 1: https://oeis.org/A103443~~ ~~:related task 1: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Truncatable_primes~~ A [[Truncatable primes\|truncatable prime]] is one where all non-empty substrings that finish at the end of the number (right-substrings) are also primes ''when understood as numbers in a particular base''. The largest such prime in a given (integer) base is therefore computable, provided the base is larger than 2. Obviously the right most digit must be prime, so in base 10 candidate are 2,3,5,7. Putting a digit in the range 1 to base-1 in front of each candidate must result in a prime. So 2 and 5 like the whale and the carnations in Hitchickers come into existance only to be extinguished before they have time to realize it. 13,17, ... 83,97 are candidates. Again Putting a digit in the range 1 to base-1 in front of each candidate must be a prime. Repeating until there are no larger candidates finds the largest left truncatable prime. Let's consider what happens in base 10. Obviously the right most digit must be prime, so in base 10 candidates are 2,3,5,7. Putting a digit in the range 1 to base-1 in front of each candidate must result in a prime. So 2 and 5, like the whale and the petunias in ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'', come into existence only to be extinguished before they have time to realize it, because 2 and 5 preceded by any digit in the range 1 to base-1 is not prime. Some numbers formed by preceding 3 or 7 by a digit in the range 1 to base-1 are prime. So 13,17,23,37,43,47,53,67,73,83,97 are candidates. Again, putting a digit in the range 1 to base-1 in front of each candidate must be a prime. Repeating until there are no larger candidates finds the largest left truncatable prime. Let's work base 3 by hand: 0 and 1 are not prime so the last digit must be 2. 12<sub>3</sub> = 5<sub>10</sub> which is prime, 22<sub>3</sub> = 8<sub>10</sub> which is not so 12<sub>3</sub> is the only candidate. 112<sub>3</sub> = 14<sub>10</sub> which is not prime, 212<sub>3</sub> = 23<sub>10</sub> which is, so 212<sub>3</sub> is the only candidate. 1212<sub>3</sub> = 50<sub>10</sub> which is not prime, 2212<sub>3</sub> = 77<sub>10</sub> which also is not prime. So there are no more candidates, therefore 23 is the largest left truncatable prime in base 3. The task is to reconstruct as much, and possibly more, of the table in ~~ref~~[https://oeis.org/A103443 1the OEIS] as you are able.

The basic idea is to maintain a "horde" of digit sequences that represent a prime number, then for each survivor in the horde, try adding a possible digit at the high-order end and checking that the resulting number is a prime. If so, add this sequence to the horde. When all trials have been made, if there was an addition, purge the earlier entries, and have another go, which is the next level up. If no addition had been made then the sequence is ended and the largest value amongst the survivors is printed. Fortran does not offer a "list" data structure, so as ever, fiddling with arrays is needed. The situation at the end of a level is that there are entries 1:LH, the "starters" for that level, and following that are entries LH + 1:NH, the added entries. The "starters" are no longer needed and to save on storage, this hole is to be filled. The entire horde could be shifted down LH slots, but there could be many of them. Instead, the tail end entries are copied from the end into the hole. There are of course many variations possible, such as using linked-lists with an "available entry" list so that only links need be messed with rather than copying content, etc. The source file uses the F90 style, mainly because module PRIMEBAG (from [[Extensible_prime_generator#Fortran]]) is available to supply some prime numbers and check whether a number is prime or not. This works up to the 32-bit integer limit: although INTEGER8 variables are available, that seemed a reasonable stopping point. Otherwise, the source is older-style, except for a few conveniences: the use of "CYCLE" rather than a "GO TO", some array assignments rather than explicit DO-loops, and the special function MAXLOC to locate the index of the maximum value in an array. Although F90 also allows arrays of compound data, the entries are stored via a two-dimensional array, and to keep related digits adjacent in storage the indexing is (digit,entry) rather than (entry,digit) since fortran uses that ordering. Unfortunately, the modernisers have abandoned a feature of First Fortran (1957): the <code>IF OVERFLOW ... </code> statement, or similar. In its place are ad-hoc tests on whether a number has suddenly become zero or negative: there is roughly a 50:50 chance that an overflow in two's-complement integer arithmetic will produce such a result - if positive, the value will still be wrong after an overflow. Such checks are tedious, but not bothering to check will mean that odd behaviour will ensue, and worse, incorrect results. <syntaxhighlight lang="fortran"> USE PRIMEBAG !Gain access to NEXTPRIME and ISPRIME.

There is no universally-used library for this, but thanks to previous effort in [[Sequence_of_primorial_primes#Fortran]] a collection is available, another F90 "module". This however works with a fixed value of BIGBASE, which is expected to be a large number and a power of ten. While there would be no great difficulty in converting from the digit sequences in the current base into a BIGNUM in base BIGBASE, it is more interesting to work with the desired base so that the digit sequences are manipulated directly. Accordingly, a variation, with the module starting <syntaxhighlight lang="fortran"> MODULE BIGNUMBERVB !Limited services: integers, no negative numbers, variable base possible. INTEGER BIGORDER !A limited attempt at generality. PARAMETER (BIGORDER = 1) !This is the order of the base of the big number arithmetic. INTEGER BIGBASE,BIGLIMIT !Sized thusly. c PARAMETER (BIGBASE = 10BIGORDER, BIGLIMIT = 8888/BIGORDER) !Enough? PARAMETER (BIGLIMIT = 666) TYPE BIGNUM !So, a big number is simple. INTEGER LAST !This many digits (of size BIGBASE) are in use. INTEGER DIGIT(BIGLIMIT) !The digits, in ascending power order. END TYPE BIGNUM !So much for that. </syntaxhighlight> As checked via earlier tests, using a fixed value for BIGLIMIT that is "surely big enough" enables faster execution than variable sizes. Now, BIGBASE is a variable, with a view to <code>DO BIGBASE = 3,17</code> and almost everything else remains the same, though with BIGBASE being a rather small number, there is no need to employ 64-bit variables via INTEGER8 at certain places. The use of BIGORDER is disrupted and routines employing it should be avoided or adjusted, thus in BIGTASTE, adding <syntaxhighlight lang="fortran"> IF (MOD(BIGBASE,10).NE.0) STOP "BIGTASTE expects powers of 10" !Alas. Otherwise the "E" formalism fails.</syntaxhighlight> for example. The changes produce <syntaxhighlight lang="fortran"> SUBROUTINE BIGWRITE(F,B) !Show B. INTEGER F !I/O unit number. TYPE(BIGNUM) B !The number. WRITE (F,1,ADVANCE="NO") B.DIGIT(B.LAST:1:-1) !Roll the digits in base BIGBASE. 1 FORMAT (666(I0:".")) !Not bothering with using letters for digits above nine. END SUBROUTINE BIGWRITE !Simple, but messy. SUBROUTINE BIGTEN(B,TEXT) !Produce a base ten digit string. TYPE(BIGNUM) B !The number. CHARACTER() TEXT !The digits. TYPE(BIGNUM) N !A copy I can mess with. INTEGER L,D !Assistants. N.LAST = B.LAST !So, make my copy. N.DIGIT(1:N.LAST) = B.DIGIT(1:B.LAST) !Only the live digits are wanted. TEXT = "" !Clear for action. L = LEN(TEXT) !Find the far end. 10 D = BIGDIVRN(N,10) !Digits emerge from the low-order end of the number. TEXT(L:L) = CHAR(ICHAR("0") + D) !Convert a digit to text, usual assumptions. IF (N.LAST.EQ.1 .AND. N.DIGIT(1).EQ.0) RETURN !If zero, N is finished. L = L - 1 !Otherwise, another digits will emerge.

END FUNCTION BIGISPRIME !Can't be bothered with ISPRIME from PRIMEBAG. </syntaxhighlight> Which is to say that BIGWRITE will show the digits of a number as decimal numbers separated by periods rather than involving letters as additional digit symbols, while BIGTEN will prepare a text version in base ten, whatever BIGBASE is. Finally, BIGMRPRIME used to quit if BIGBASE were less than four, because it wants to test numbers not exceeding four by only inspecting a single digit of the big number, so that it can for larger numbers perform a direct test for divisibility by two and three without rejecting those numbers as primes just in case it is invoked for them. So ... <syntaxhighlight lang="fortran">Catch some annoying cases, to protect the direct tests for divisibility by two and three... IF (N.LAST.LE.2) THEN !A smallish number?

The plain number version first given works in the computer's own arithmetic base, and preparing such values from the digit strings in the given base is not difficult. Despite the inconvenience of messing with digit sequences not in the same base as used for calculation, a trial run using base 10000 required 260 seconds instead - and gave the same numbers. Bignumber arithmetic via assembler to fully exploit the available hardware would surely do better still. Going further will require MANY to be enlarged. Already, base twelve required just over nineteen thousand entries, and base eighteen overflowed MANY = 66666. This suggests that a lot of data is being shifted about, so some sort of linked-list scheme might reduce that. Incidentally, in <code>B.LAST = A.LAST; B.DIGIT(1:N) = A.DIGIT(1:N)</code> and similar, because the storage for .DIGIT immediately follows that for .LAST, one might hope that an advanced compiler would combine the two statements into one sequential copy... Alas, the Compaq F90/95 compiler produces two wads of code, of 20 operations and then 92. Bounds checking is active, but still... And, as one who can recall when one was admitted to the status of "prime" (like, being divisible only by itself and one), what about allowing numbers to end with the digit one... <pre> Working in bases 3 to 17 Base Digits Count Maximum Value = (in base) 3 2 1 7 = 2.1 4 7 1 9829 = 2.1.2.1.2.1.1 5 4 1 311 = 2.2.2.1 6 19 1 580639005096133 = 5.4.1.4.5.2.5.5.1.3.1.5.5.1.3.1.4.2.1 7 8 1 3602999 = 4.2.4.2.4.2.4.1 8 9 1 104056657 = 6.1.4.7.4.3.5.2.1 9 5 3 41023 = 6.2.2.4.1 10 20 1 89726156799336363541 = 8.9.7.2.6.1.5.6.7.9.9.3.3.6.3.6.3.5.4.1 11 7 1 11750399 = 6.6.10.6.2.8.1 12 30 1 57434208867139354150297607357437 = 2.10.10.1.1.11.6.4.4.7.11.8.2.2.8.10.8.7.6.5.9.5.2.2.10.2.1.5.9.1 13 10 1 66073331221 = 6.2.12.12.10.8.12.10.12.1 14 25 1 39607537776359469390989456509 = 12.4.7.3.5.12.3.11.6.3.11.5.11.9.13.9.3.7.10.12.6.4.3.8.1 15 20 4 319674182915416424428051 = 14.6.4.8.6.8.12.6.2.4.10.8.6.4.8.14.14.14.10.1 16 23 2 2208955789035921681292672241 = 7.2.3.3.4.9.5.4.5.1.5.7.8.15.9.3.3.4.3.3.12.15.1 17 11 2 16408729108033 = 8.2.6.4.4.6.14.2.12.6.1 The MR prime test makes a series of trials, stopping early only when a "definitely composite" result is encountered.

A new digit is added with each generation, removing the previous generation's primes from the front of the list (<tt>popfirst!</tt>) and adding new candidates to the end of the list (<tt>append!</tt>) with each generation. The maximum value yielded in each generation is tracked as a provisional answer. Once the array is emptied (because no digit could be added to any of the previous generation's primes to yield a prime), the algorithm is finished and the answer found. This solution is limited to a base of 17, to keep the processing time to well under a minute (about 15 seconds on an old but decent quality notebook). (I've let it run to as high as 23, but that took something like 20 minutes as I was otherwise occupied.) I did attempt a few optimizations of this general approach (such as moving the logic of <tt>addmsdigit</tt> into <tt>lefttruncprime</tt> and being clever about identifying the maximum of a given generation) but none of these tweaks resulted in a significant improvement in efficiency. <syntaxhighlight lang="julia">using Primes, Printf function addmsdigit(p::Integer, b::Integer, s::Integer) a = Vector{typeof(p)}() q = p for i in 1:(b-1) q += s isprime(q) \|\| continue push!(a, q) end return a end function lefttruncprime(pbase::Integer) a = Vector{BigInt}() append!(a, primes(pbase - 1)) mlt = zero(BigInt) s = one(BigInt) while !isempty(a) mlt = maximum(a) s = pbase for i in 1:length(a) p = popfirst!(a) append!(a, addmsdigit(p, pbase, s)) end end return mlt end lo, hi = 3, 17 println("The largest left truncatable primes for bases", @sprintf(" %d to %d.", lo, hi)) for i in lo:hi mlt = lefttruncprime(i) @printf("%10d %-30d (%s)\n", i, mlt, string(mlt, base=i)) end </syntaxhighlight>{{out}} <pre> The largest left truncatable primes for bases 3 to 17. 3 23 (212) 4 4091 (333323) 5 7817 (222232) 6 4836525320399 (14141511414451435) 7 817337 (6642623) 8 14005650767869 (313636165537775) 9 1676456897 (4284484465) 10 357686312646216567629137 (357686312646216567629137) 11 2276005673 (a68822827) 12 13092430647736190817303130065827539 (471a34a164259ba16b324ab8a32b7817) 13 812751503 (cc4c8c65) 14 615419590422100474355767356763 (d967ccd63388522619883a7d23) 15 34068645705927662447286191 (6c6c2ce2ceeea4826e642b) 16 1088303707153521644968345559987 (dbc7fba24fe6aec462abf63b3) 17 13563641583101 (6c66cc4cc83) </pre> =={{header\|Kotlin}}== {{trans\|Java}} <syntaxhighlight lang="scala">// version 1.1.2 import java.math.BigInteger fun nextLeftTruncatablePrimes(n: BigInteger, radix: Int, certainty: Int): List<BigInteger> { val probablePrimes = mutableListOf<BigInteger>() val baseString = if (n == BigInteger.ZERO) "" else n.toString(radix) for (i in 1 until radix) { val p = BigInteger(i.toString(radix) + baseString, radix) if (p.isProbablePrime(certainty)) probablePrimes.add(p) } return probablePrimes ~~}</lang>~~ } fun largestLeftTruncatablePrime(radix: Int, certainty: Int): BigInteger? { var lastList: List<BigInteger>? = null var list = nextLeftTruncatablePrimes(BigInteger.ZERO, radix, certainty) while (!list.isEmpty()) { lastList = list list = mutableListOf() for (n in lastList) list.addAll(nextLeftTruncatablePrimes(n, radix, certainty)) } if (lastList == null) return null return lastList.sorted().last() } fun main(args: Array<String>) { print("Enter maximum radix : ") val maxRadix = readLine()!!.toInt() print("Enter certainty : ") val certainty = readLine()!!.toInt() println() for (radix in 3..maxRadix) { val largest = largestLeftTruncatablePrime(radix, certainty) print("Base = ${"%-2d".format(radix)} : ") if (largest == null) println("No left truncatable prime") else println("${largest.toString().padEnd(35)} -> ${largest.toString(radix)}") } }</syntaxhighlight> {{out}} Sampe input/output - expect run time of about 3.5 minutes on a typical laptop: <pre> Enter maximum radix : 17 Enter certainty : 100 Base = 3 : 23 -> 212 Base = 4 : 4091 -> 333323 Base = 5 : 7817 -> 222232 Base = 6 : 4836525320399 -> 14141511414451435 Base = 7 : 817337 -> 6642623 Base = 8 : 14005650767869 -> 313636165537775 Base = 9 : 1676456897 -> 4284484465 Base = 10 : 357686312646216567629137 -> 357686312646216567629137 Base = 11 : 2276005673 -> a68822827 Base = 12 : 13092430647736190817303130065827539 -> 471a34a164259ba16b324ab8a32b7817 Base = 13 : 812751503 -> cc4c8c65 Base = 14 : 615419590422100474355767356763 -> d967ccd63388522619883a7d23 Base = 15 : 34068645705927662447286191 -> 6c6c2ce2ceeea4826e642b Base = 16 : 1088303707153521644968345559987 -> dbc7fba24fe6aec462abf63b3 Base = 17 : 13563641583101 -> 6c66cc4cc83 </pre> =={{header\|Maple}}== <syntaxhighlight lang="maple">MaxLeftTruncatablePrime := proc(b, $) local i, j, c, p, sdprimes;
