One-two primes

From Rosetta Code
One-two primes is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Generate the sequence an where each term in a is the smallest n digit prime number (in base 10) composed entirely of the digits 1 and 2.

It is conjectured, though not proven, that a conforming prime exists for all n. No counter examples have been found up to several thousand digits.


Task
  • Find and show here, the first 20 elements in the sequence (from 1 digit through 20 digits), or as many as reasonably supported by your language if it is fewer.


Stretch
  • Find and and show the abbreviated values for the elements with n equal to 100 through 2000 in increments of 100.
Shorten the displayed number by replacing any leading 1s in the number with the count of 1s, and show the remainder of the number. (See Raku example for reference)

ALGOL 68

Works with: ALGOL 68G version Any - tested with release 2.8.3.win32

As more than 64 bit numbers are required, this uses Algol 68G's LONG LONG INT which has programmer specified precision. The default precision is sufficient for this task.

AppleScript

Like the other solutions here, this assumes that "composed entirely of the digits 1 and 2" actually means "composed entirely of the digits 1 and/or 2".

        -- of each even number < 2 ^ n, treating the results as decimal digits.

Generalized

This version will do the task requirements, but will also find (without modification):

Really, the only one that is a little tricky is the first one (0,1). That one required some specialized logic. All of the rest would work with the task specific version with different hard coded digits.

Limited the stretch to keep the run time reasonable. Finishes all in around 12 seconds on my system.

Task specific

This is based on the Python code in the OEIS entry. Run time about 52 seconds. 

import "./gmp" for Mpz
import "./fmt" for Fmt
import "./iterate" for Stepped

var firstOneTwo = Fn.new { |n|
    var k = Mpz.ten.pow(n).sub(Mpz.one).div(Mpz.nine)
    var r = Mpz.one.lsh(n).sub(Mpz.one)
    var m = Mpz.zero
    while (m <= r) {
        var t = k + Mpz.fromStr(m.toString(2))
        if (t.probPrime(15) > 0) return t
        m.inc
    }
    return Mpz.minusOne
}

for (n in 1..20) Fmt.print("$4d: $i", n, firstOneTwo.call(n))
for (n in Stepped.new(100..2000, 100)) {
    var t = firstOneTwo.call(n)
    if (t == Mpz.minusOne) {
        System.print("No %(n)-digit prime found with only digits 1 or 2.")
    } else {
        var ts = t.toString
        var ix = ts.indexOf("2")
        Fmt.print("$4d: (1 x $4d) $s", n, ix, ts[ix..-1])
    }
}

Library: Wren-long

Alternatively, we can use Wren-cli to complete the basic task in about 2.7 seconds.

64-bit integers are needed to find the first 20 terms so we need to use the above module here. 

import "./long" for ULong
import "./fmt" for Conv, Fmt

var firstOneTwo = Fn.new { |n|
    var k = ULong.new("1" * n)
    var r = (ULong.one << n) - 1
    var m = 0
    while (r >= m) {
        var t = k + ULong.new(Conv.bin(m))
        if (t.isPrime) return t
        m = m + 1
    }
    return ULong.zero
}

for (n in 1..20) Fmt.print("$2d: $i", n, firstOneTwo.call(n))
Output:
As GMP version for first 20.

Generalized

Slower than Raku at about 15.2 seconds though acceptable given that Wren is having to do a lot of string manipulation here. 

import "./gmp" for Mpz
import "./fmt" for Fmt
import "./iterate" for Stepped

var firstPrime = Fn.new { |n, d|
    var k = Mpz.ten.pow(n).sub(Mpz.one).div(Mpz.nine)
    var r = Mpz.one.lsh(n).sub(Mpz.one)
    var m = Mpz.zero
    while (m <= r) {
        var t = k + Mpz.fromStr(m.toString(2))
        var s = t.toString
        if (d[0] != 2) {
            if (d[0] != 1) s = s.replace("1", d[0].toString)
            if (d[1] != 2) s = s.replace("2", d[1].toString)
        } else {
            s = s.replace("1", "x").replace("2", d[1].toString).replace("x", "2")
        }
        if (s[0] == "0") s = "1" + s[1..-1]
        t.setStr(s)
        if (t.probPrime(15) > 0) return t
        m.inc
    }
    return Mpz.zero
}

var digits = [
    [0, 1], [1, 2], [1, 3], [1, 4], [1, 5], [1, 6], [1, 7], [1, 8],

]
for (d in digits) {
    Fmt.print("Smallest n digit prime using only $d and $d (or '0' if none exists)", d[0], d[1])
    for (n in 1..20) Fmt.print("$3d: $i", n, firstPrime.call(n, d))
    for (n in Stepped.new(100..200, 100)) {
        var t = firstPrime.call(n, d)
        var ts = t.toString
        if (d[0] != 0) {
            var ix = ts.indexOf(d[1].toString)
            Fmt.print("$3d: ($d x $3d) $s", n, d[0], ix, ts[ix..-1])
        } else {
            var ix = ts[1..-1].indexOf(d[1].toString)
            Fmt.print("$3d: $d (0 x $3d) $s", n, d[1], ix, ts[ix..-1])
        }

    System.print()
