Twin primes are pairs of natural numbers (P1 and P2) that satisfy the following:
- P1 and P2 are primes
- P1 + 2 = P2
- Task
Write a program that displays the number of pairs of twin primes that can be found under a user-specified number(P1 < user-specified number & P2 < user-specified number).
- Extension
-
- Find all twin prime pairs under 100000, 10000000 and 1000000000.
- What is the time complexity of the program? Are there ways to reduce computation time?
- Examples
> Search Size: 100 > 8 twin prime pairs.
> Search Size: 1000 > 35 twin prime pairs.
- Also see
- The OEIS entry: A001097 Twin primes.
- The OEIS entry: A167874 The number of distinct primes < 10^n which are members of twin-prime pairs.
- The OEIS entry: A077800 List of twin primes {p, p+2}, with repetition.
- The OEIS entry: A007508 Number of twin prime pairs below 10^n.
ALGOL 68
Simplifies array bound checking by using the equivalent definition of twin primes: p and p - 2. <lang algol68>BEGIN
# count twin primes (where p and p - 2 are prime) # PR heap=128M PR # set heap memory size for Algol 68G # # sieve of Eratosthenes: sets s[i] to TRUE if i is a prime, FALSE otherwise # PROC sieve = ( REF[]BOOL s )VOID: BEGIN # start with everything flagged as prime # FOR i TO UPB s DO s[ i ] := TRUE OD; # sieve out the non-primes # s[ 1 ] := FALSE; FOR i FROM 2 TO ENTIER sqrt( UPB s ) DO IF s[ i ] THEN FOR p FROM i * i BY i TO UPB s DO s[ p ] := FALSE OD FI OD END # sieve # ; # find the maximum number to search for twin primes # INT max; print( ( "Maximum: " ) ); read( ( max, newline ) ); INT max number = max; # construct a sieve of primes up to the maximum number # [ 1 : max number ]BOOL primes; sieve( primes ); # count the twin primes # # note 2 cannot be one of the primes in a twin prime pair, so we start at 3 # INT twin count := 0; FOR p FROM 3 TO max number DO IF primes[ p ] AND primes[ p - 2 ]THEN twin count +:= 1 FI OD; print( ( "twin prime pairs below ", whole( max number, 0 ), ": ", whole( twin count, 0 ), newline ) )
