Semiprime
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Semiprime numbers are natural numbers that are products of exactly two (possibly equal) prime numbers. Example: 1679 = 23 × 73 (This particular number was chosen as the length of the Arecibo message).
Write a function determining whether a given number is semiprime.
C
<lang c>#include <stdio.h>
int semiprime(int n) { int p, f = 0; for (p = 2; f < 2 && p*p <= n; p++) while (0 == n % p) n /= p, f++;
return f + (n > 1) == 2; }
int main(void) { int i; for (i = 2; i < 100; i++) if (semiprime(i)) printf(" %d", i); putchar('\n');
return 0; }</lang>
- Output:
4 6 9 10 14 15 21 22 25 26 33 34 35 38 39 46 49 51 55 57 58 62 65 69 74 77 82 85 86 87 91 93 94 95
Haskell
<lang Haskell>isSemiprime :: Int -> Bool isSemiprime n = (length factors) == 2 && (product factors) == n ||
(length factors) == 1 && (head factors) ^ 2 == n where factors = primeFactors n</lang>
Alternative (and faster) implementation using pattern matching: <lang Haskell>isSemiprime :: Int -> Bool isSemiprime n = case (primeFactors n) of
[f1, f2] -> f1 * f2 == n otherwise -> False</lang>
J
Implementation:
<lang J>isSemiPrime=: 2 = #@q: ::0:"0</lang>
Example use: find all semiprimes less than 100:
<lang J> I. isSemiPrime i.100 4 6 9 10 14 15 21 22 25 26 33 34 35 38 39 46 49 51 55 57 58 62 65 69 74 77 82 85 86 87 91 93 94 95</lang>
Description: factor the number and count the primes in the factorization, is it 2?
Perl 6
Here is a naive, grossly inefficient implementation. <lang perl6>sub is-semiprime (Int $n --> Bool) {
not $n.is-prime and .is-prime given $n div first $n %% *, grep &is-prime, 2 .. *;
}
use Test; my @primes = grep &is-prime, 2 .. 100; for ^5 {
ok not is-semiprime([*] my @f1 = @primes.roll(1)), ~@f1; ok is-semiprime([*] my @f2 = @primes.roll(2)), ~@f2; ok not is-semiprime([*] my @f3 = @primes.roll(3)), ~@f3; ok not is-semiprime([*] my @f4 = @primes.roll(4)), ~@f4;
}</lang>

Racket
The first implementation considers all pairs of factors multiplying up to the given number and determines if any of them is a pair of primes. <lang Racket>#lang racket (require math)
(define (pair-factorize n)
"Return all two-number factorizations of a number" (let ([up-limit (integer-sqrt n)]) (map (λ (x) (list x (/ n x)))
(filter (λ (x) (<= x up-limit)) (divisors n)))))
(define (semiprime n)
"Determine if a number is semiprime i.e. a product of two primes.
Check if any pair of complete factors consists of primes."
(for/or ((pair (pair-factorize n))) (for/and ((el pair)) (prime? el))))</lang>
The alternative implementation operates directly on the list of prime factors and their multiplicities. It is approximately 1.6 times faster than the first one (according to some simple tests of mine). <lang Racket>#lang racket (require math)
(define (semiprime n)
"Alternative implementation.
Check if there are two prime factors whose product is the argument or if there is a single prime factor whose square is the argument"
(let ([prime-factors (factorize n)]) (or (and (= (length prime-factors) 1)
(= (expt (caar prime-factors) (cadar prime-factors)) n)) (and (= (length prime-factors) 2) (= (foldl (λ (x y) (* (car x) y)) 1 prime-factors) n)))))</lang>
