Truncatable primes
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
A truncatable prime is a prime number that when you successively remove digits from one end of the prime, you are left with a new prime number.
- Examples
The number 997 is called a left-truncatable prime as the numbers 997, 97, and 7 are all prime.
The number 7393 is a right-truncatable prime as the numbers 7393, 739, 73, and 7 formed by removing digits from its right are also prime.
No zeroes are allowed in truncatable primes.
- Task
The task is to find the largest left-truncatable and right-truncatable primes less than one million (base 10 is implied).

Bracmat
Primality test: In an attempt to compute the result of taking a (not too big, 2^32 or 2^64, depending on word size) number to a fractional power, Bracmat computes the prime factors of the number and checks whether the powers of prime factors make the fractional power go away. If the number is prime, the output of the computation is the same as the input.

Truncatable primes may be constructed by starting with a set of one digit prime numbers and then repeatedly adding a non-zero digit (combine all possibilities of a truncatable prime digit sequence with each digit) and, at each step, selecting the prime numbers which result.
In other words, given:
selPrime=: #~ 1&p:
seed=: selPrime digits=: 1+i.9
step=: selPrime@,@:(,&.":/&>)@{@;
Here, selPrime discards non-prime numbers from a list, so seed is the list 2 3 5 7.
The largest truncatable primes less than a million can be obtained by adding five digits to the prime seeds, then finding the largest value from the result.
>./ digits&step^:5 seed NB. left truncatable
998443
>./ step&digits^:5 seed NB. right truncatable
739399
Note that we are using the same combining function and same basic procedure in both cases. The difference is which side of the number we add arbitrary digits to, for each step.

Julia
There are several features of Julia that make solving this task easy. Julia has excellent built-in support for prime generation and testing. The built-in mathematical functions prevpow and divrem are quite handy for implementing isltruncprime.
function isltruncprime{T<:Integer}(n::T, base::T=10)
isprime(n) || return false
p = n
f = prevpow(base, p)
while 1 < f
(d, p) = divrem(p, f)
isprime(p) || return false
d != 0 || return false
f = div(f, base)
end
return true
end
function isrtruncprime{T<:Integer}(n::T, base::T=10)
isprime(n) || return false
p = n
while base < p
p = div(p, base)
isprime(p) || return false
end
return true
end
hi = 10^6
for i in reverse(primes(hi))
isltruncprime(i) || continue
println("The largest left truncatable prime ≤ ", hi, " is ", i, ".")
break
end
for i in reverse(primes(hi))
isrtruncprime(i) || continue
println("The largest right truncatable prime ≤ ", hi, " is ", i, ".")
break
end
- Output:
The largest left truncatable prime ≤ 1000000 is 998443. The largest right truncatable prime ≤ 1000000 is 739399.

Typically with Perl we'll look for a CPAN module to make our life easier. This basically just follows the task rules:
use ntheory ":all";
sub isltrunc {
my $n = shift;
return (is_prime($n) && $n !~ /0/ && ($n < 10 || isltrunc(substr($n,1))));
}
sub isrtrunc {
my $n = shift;
return (is_prime($n) && $n !~ /0/ && ($n < 10 || isrtrunc(substr($n,0,-1))));
}
for (reverse @{primes(1e6)}) {
if (isltrunc($_)) { print "ltrunc: $_\n"; last; }
}
for (reverse @{primes(1e6)}) {
if (isrtrunc($_)) { print "rtrunc: $_\n"; last; }
}
- Output:
ltrunc: 998443 rtrunc: 739399
We can be a little more Perlish and build up n-digit lists then select the last one:
use ntheory ":all";
my @lprimes = my @rprimes = (2,3,5,7);
@lprimes = sort { $a <=> $b }
map { my $p=$_; map { is_prime($_.$p) ? $_.$p : () } 1..9 } @lprimes
for 2..6;
@rprimes = sort { $a <=> $b }
map { my $p=$_; map { is_prime($p.$_) ? $p.$_ : () } 1..9 } @rprimes
for 2..6;
print "ltrunc: $lprimes[-1]\nrtrunc: $rprimes[-1]\n";
Or we can do everything ourselves:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use constant {
LEFT => 0,
RIGHT => 1,
};
{ my @primes = (2, 3);
sub is_prime {
my $n = shift;
return if $n < 2;
for my $prime (@primes) {
last if $prime >= $n;
return unless $n % $prime;
}
my $sqrt = sqrt $n;
while ($primes[-1] < $sqrt) {
my $new = 2 + $primes[-1];
$new += 2 until is_prime($new);
push @primes, $new;
return unless $n % $new;
}
return 1;
}
}
sub trunc {
my ($n, $side) = @_;
substr $n, $side == LEFT ? 0 : -1, 1, q();
return $n;
}
sub is_tprime { # Absence of zeroes is tested outside the sub.
my ($n, $side) = @_;
return (is_prime($n)
and (1 == length $n or is_tprime(trunc($n, $side), $side)));
}
my $length = 6;
my @tprimes = ('9' x $length) x 2;
for my $side (LEFT, RIGHT) {
$tprimes[$side] -= 2 until -1 == index $tprimes[$side], '0'
and is_tprime($tprimes[$side], $side);
}
print 'left ', join(', right ', @tprimes), "\n";

Scala
This example uses lazily evaluated lists. The functions to determine if a number is a truncatable prime construct a list of truncated numbers and check that all the elements in the list are prime.
object TruncatablePrimes {
def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
val max = 1000000
println(
s"""|ltPrime: ${ltPrimes.takeWhile(_ <= max).last}
|rtPrime: ${rtPrimes.takeWhile(_ <= max).last}
|""".stripMargin)
}
def ltPrimes: LazyList[Int] = 2 #:: LazyList.from(3, 2).filter(isLeftTruncPrime)
def rtPrimes: LazyList[Int] = 2 #:: LazyList.from(3, 2).filter(isRightTruncPrime)
def isPrime(num: Int): Boolean = (num > 1) && !LazyList.range(3, math.sqrt(num).toInt + 1, 2).exists(num%_ == 0)
def isLeftTruncPrime(num: Int): Boolean = !num.toString.contains('0') && Iterator.unfold(num.toString){str => if(str.nonEmpty) Some((str.toInt, str.tail)) else None}.forall(isPrime)
def isRightTruncPrime(num: Int): Boolean = !num.toString.exists(_.asDigit%2 == 0) && Iterator.unfold(num.toString){str => if(str.nonEmpty) Some((str.toInt, str.init)) else None}.forall(isPrime)

Using Extensible prime generator#zkl and a one meg bucket of bytes, construct a yes/no lookup table for all primes <= one million (<80,000).
