Here is a much faster approach. (I searched up to 10 billion in 10 minutes on my PC.) It looks at far fewer than yours does since it knows that it only looks at numbers whose digits are 1, 3, 7 and 9, and which furthermore have the largest digit first.
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
print "$_\n" for 2, 3, 5, 7;
my @d = (1, 3, 7, 9);
my %seen;
for my $length (2..(shift || 6)) {
# print "Length: $length\n";
LIMIT: for my $limit (0..3) {
my @indexes = $limit - 1;
NUMBER: while (1) {
$indexes[-1]++;
while ($indexes[-1] > $limit) {
pop @indexes;
next LIMIT unless @indexes;
$indexes[-1]++;
}
while (@indexes < $length) {
push @indexes, 0;
}
my $num = join '', @d[@indexes];
for (1..$length) {
next NUMBER unless is_prime_for_odds_over_3($num);
$num =~ s/(\d)(\d*)/$2$1/;
}
for (1..$length) {
print "$num\n" unless $seen{$num}++;
$num =~ s/(\d)(\d*)/$2$1/;
}
}
}
}
sub is_prime_for_odds_over_3 {
my $n = shift;
my $max = sqrt($n);
return 0 unless $n % 3;
my $div = 5;
while ($div <= $max) {
return 0 unless $n % $div;
$div += 2;
return 0 unless $n % $div;
$div += 4;
}
return 1;
}
Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
Please read these before you post! —
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
- a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
