;Task: Generate a sequence of primes by means of trial division.

Trial division is an algorithm where a candidate number is tested for being a prime by trying to divide it by other numbers.

You may use primes, or any numbers of your choosing, as long as the result is indeed a sequence of primes.

The sequence may be bounded (i.e. up to some limit), unbounded, starting from the start (i.e. 2) or above some given value.

Organize your function as you wish, in particular, it might resemble a filtering operation, or a sieving operation.

If you want to use a ready-made `is_prime` function, use one from the [[Primality by trial division]] page (i.e., add yours there if it isn't there already).

• [[count in factors]]
• [[prime decomposition]]
• [[factors of an integer]]
• [[Sieve of Eratosthenes]]
• [[primality by trial division]]
• [[factors of a Mersenne number]]
• [[trial factoring of a Mersenne number]]
• [[partition an integer X into N primes]]

Use the generic function Prime_Numbers.Is_Prime, as specified in [[Prime decomposition#Ada]]. The program reads two numbers A and B from the command line and prints all primes between A and B (inclusive).

```with Prime_Numbers, Ada.Text_IO, Ada.Command_Line;

procedure Sequence_Of_Primes is

package Integer_Numbers is new
Prime_Numbers (Natural, 0, 1, 2);
use Integer_Numbers;

begin
for I in Start .. Stop loop
if Is_Prime(I) then
end if;
end loop;
end Sequence_Of_Primes;

## ALGOL 68

Simple bounded sequence using the "is prime" routine from [[Primality by trial division#ALGOL 68]]

```# is prime PROC from the primality by trial division task #
MODE ISPRIMEINT = INT;
PROC is prime = ( ISPRIMEINT p )BOOL:
IF p <= 1 OR ( NOT ODD p AND p/= 2) THEN
FALSE
ELSE
BOOL prime := TRUE;
FOR i FROM 3 BY 2 TO ENTIER sqrt(p)
WHILE prime := p MOD i /= 0 DO SKIP OD;
prime
FI;
# end of code from the primality by trial division task #

# returns an array of n primes >= start #
PROC prime sequence = ( INT start, INT n )[]INT:
BEGIN
[ n ]INT seq;
INT      prime count := 0;
FOR p FROM start WHILE prime count < n DO
IF is prime( p ) THEN
prime count +:= 1;
seq[ prime count ] := p
FI
OD;
seq
END; # prime sequence #

# find 20 primes >= 30 #
[]INT primes = prime sequence( 30, 20 );
print( ( "20 primes starting at 30: " ) );
FOR p FROM LWB primes TO UPB primes DO
print( ( " ", whole( primes[ p ], 0 ) ) )
OD;
print( ( newline ) )
```

```begin

logical procedure isPrime ( integer value n ) ; algol "isPrime" ;
% sets the elements of p to the first n primes. p must have bounds 1 :: n %
procedure getPrimes ( integer array p ( * )
; integer value n
) ;
if n > 0 then begin
% have room for at least oe prime %
integer pPos, possiblePrime;
p( 1 )        := 2;
pPos          := 2;
possiblePrime := 3;
while pPos <= n do begin
if isPrime( possiblePrime ) then begin
p( pPos )     := possiblePrime;
pPos          := pPos + 1;
end;
possiblePrime := possiblePrime + 1
end
end getPrimes ;

begin % test getPrimes %
integer array p( 1 :: 100 );
getPrimes( p, 100 );
for i := 1 until 100 do begin
if i rem 20 = 1 then write(   i_w := 4, s_w := 1, p( i ) )

## Fortran

This version was written for an IBM1130, which offered 16-bit integers. Storage size was 32K words. It was written before the revised dogma that one is not a prime number became common. With punched-card input, using only capital letters was normal. This system offered Fortran IV which lacks the many later developments such as ''if ... then'' style statements, thus the profusion of statement labels and arithmetic if-statements. In ''if (expression) negative,zero,positive'' the sign of the expression is examined to choose the appropriate label to jump to. Labels can only be numbers, alas. There was also no MOD function for determining the remainder.

This routine does ''not'' attempt a calculation of sqrt(n), a time-consuming and also potentially inacurrate scheme. For instance, using Trunc(Log10(n)) + 1 to determine how many digits are needed to print ''n'' seems an obvious ad-hoc ploy, and gave 1 for ''n'' = 1 to 9, but it also gave 1 for ''n'' = 10, because Log10(10) was calculated as 0.9999964 or so (single precision on an IBM 390 system), which truncates to zero.

Instead, since many successive numbers are to be tested for primality, advantage can be taken of the fact that prime numbers only up to PRIME(LP) need be tried as factors all the way up to N = PRIME(LP + 1)**2 = XP2. This is similar to starting a pass through a Sieve of Eratoshenes at PP rather than at 2P. Thus, 5 is the largest factor to try, even beyond 55, all the way up to 49, because, if the number were divisible by 7, 72 would already have been checked because of 2, 73 because of 3, and so on. Only when 77 is needed will a further possible factor have to be tried. Likewise, although the last possible factor to try for N up to the integer limit of 32767 is 181 because the square of the next prime (191) exceeds 32767, in order for the method to be able to know this, the PRIME array must have space for this surplus prime. However, it does not know this properly because the square of 191 ''does'' exceed 32767 and so its value in XP2 will be incorrect, but this doesn't matter because only equality to XP2 is checked for and there will never be call to try 191 as a factor because 181 suffices up to the integer limit and the iteration will stop by then. Fortunately, 32767 is not divisible by three so that value will not be excluded as a possible candidate for N, and so the search can correctly end after inspecting the largest possible integer - finding it divisible by seven.

This method avoids considering multiples of two and three, leading to the need to pre-load array PRIME and print the first few values explicitly rather than flounder about with special startup tricks. Even so, in order not to pre-load with 7, and to correctly start the factor testing with 5, the first few primes are found with some wasted effort because 5 is not needed at the start. Storing the primes as found has the obvious advantage of enabling divisions only by prime numbers, but care with the startup is needed to ensure that primes have indeed been stored before they are called for.

## Go

An unbounded cascading filtering method using channels, adapted from the classic concurrent prime sieve example in the "Try Go" window at http://golang.org/, improved by postponing the initiation of the filtering by a prime until the prime's square is seen in the input.

```package main

import "fmt"

func NumsFromBy(from int, by int, ch chan<- int) {
for i := from; ; i+=by {
ch <- i
}
}

func Filter(in <-chan int, out chan<- int, prime int) {
for {
i := <-in
if i%prime != 0 {            // here is the trial division
out <- i
}
}
}

func Sieve(out chan<- int) {
out <- 3
q := 9
ps := make(chan int)
go Sieve(ps)                   // separate primes supply
p := <-ps
nums := make(chan int)
go NumsFromBy(5,2,nums)        // end of setup
for i := 0; ; i++ {
n := <-nums
if n < q {

A simple iterative method, also unbounded and starting with 2.

```package main

import "fmt"

func newP() func() int {
n := 1
return func() int {
for {
n++
// Trial division as naïvely as possible.  For a candidate n,
// numbers between 1 and n are checked to see if they divide n.
// If no number divides n, n is prime.
for f := 2; ; f++ {
if f == n {
return n
}
if n%f == 0 { // here is the trial division
break
}
}
}
}
}

func main() {
p := newP()
fmt.Print("First twenty:")
for i := 0; i < 20; i++ {
fmt.Print(" ", p())
}
fmt.Println()
}
```

{{out}}

```
First twenty: 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71

```

The most basic:

```[n | n <- [2..], []==[i | i <- [2..n-1], rem n i == 0]]
```

With trial division emulated by additions (the seeds of Sieve):

```[n | n <- [2..], []==[i | i <- [2..n-1], j <- [i,i+i..n], j==n]]
```

With recursive filtering (in wrong order, from bigger to smaller natural numbers):

```foldr (\x r -> x : filter ((> 0).(`rem` x)) r) [] [2..]
```

With iterated sieving (in right order, from smaller to bigger primes):

```Data.List.unfoldr (\(x:xs) -> Just (x, filter ((> 0).(`rem` x)) xs)) [2..]
```

A proper [[Primality by trial division#Haskell|primality testing by trial division]] can be used to produce short ranges of primes more efficiently:

```primesFromTo n m = filter isPrime [n..m]
```

The standard optimal trial division version has `isPrime` in the above inlined:

```-- primes = filter isPrime [2..]
primes = 2 : [n | n <- [3..], foldr (\p r-> p*p > n || rem n p > 0 && r)
True primes]
```

It is easy to amend this to test only odd numbers by only odd primes, or automatically skip the multiples of ''3'' (also, ''5'', etc.) by construction as well (a ''wheel factorization'' technique):

```primes = 2 : 3 : [n | n <- [5,7..], foldr (\p r-> p*p > n || rem n p > 0 && r)
True (drop 1 primes)]
= [2,3,5] ++ [n | n <- scanl (+) 7 (cycle [4,2]),
foldr (\p r-> p*p > n || rem n p > 0 && r)
True (drop 2 primes)]
-- = [2,3,5,7] ++ [n | n <- scanl (+) 11 (cycle [2,4,2,4,6,2,6,4]), ... (drop 3 primes)]
```

### Sieve by trial division

The classic David Turner's 1983 (1976? 1975?) SASL code repeatedly ''sieves'' a stream of candidate numbers from those divisible by a prime at a time, and works even for unbounded streams, thanks to lazy evaluation:

```primesT = sieve [2..]
where
sieve (p:xs) = p : sieve [x | x <- xs, rem x p /= 0]
--  . iterate (\(p:xs) -> filter ((> 0).(`rem` p)) xs) \$ [2..]
```

As shown in Melissa O'Neill's paper [http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~oneill/papers/Sieve-JFP.pdf "The Genuine Sieve of Eratosthenes"], its complexity is quadratic in number of primes produced whereas that of optimal trial division is $O\left(n^\left\{1.5\right\}/\left(\log n\right)^\left\{0.5\right\}\right)$, and of true SoE it is $O\left(n\log n\log\log n\right)$, in ''n'' primes produced.

Indeed as Eratosthenes sieve works by counting, ''its'' removal step could be prototyped as `((p:xs)-> minus xs [p,p+p..])`, where `minus xs ys == xs Data.List.\ ys` for any finite and increasing ''xs'' and ''ys''.

### Bounded sieve by trial division

Bounded formulation has normal trial division complexity, because it can stop early via an explicit guard:

```primesTo m = sieve [2..m]
where
sieve (p:xs) | p*p > m   = p : xs
| otherwise = p : sieve [x | x <- xs, rem x p /= 0]
-- (\(a,b:_) -> map head a ++ b) . span ((< m).(^2).head)
--   \$ iterate (\(p:xs) -> filter ((>0).(`rem`p)) xs) [2..m]
```

### Postponed sieve by trial division

{{trans|Racket}} To make it unbounded, the guard cannot be simply discarded. The firing up of a filter by a prime should be ''postponed'' until its ''square'' is seen amongst the candidates (so a bigger chunk of input numbers are taken straight away as primes, between each opening up of a new filter, instead of just one head element in the non-postponed algorithm):

```primesPT = sieve primesPT [2..]
where
sieve ~(p:ps) (x:xs) = x : after (p*p) xs
(sieve ps . filter ((> 0).(`rem` p)))
after q (x:xs) f | x < q = x : after q xs f
| otherwise = f (x:xs)
-- fix \$ concatMap (fst.fst) . iterate (\((_,t),p:ps) ->
--         (span (< head ps^2) [x | x <- t, rem x p > 0], ps)) . (,) ([2,3],[4..])
```

`~(p:ps)` is a lazy pattern: the matching will be delayed until any of its variables are actually needed. Here it means that on the very first iteration the head of `primesPT` will be safely accessed only after it is already defined (by `x : after (p*p) ...`).

### Segmented Generate and Test

Explicating the run-time list of ''filters'' (created implicitly by the sieves above) as a list of ''factors to test by'' on each segment between the consecutive squares of primes (so that no testing is done prematurely), and rearranging to avoid recalculations, leads to the following:

```import Data.List (inits)

primesST = 2 : 3 : sieve 5 9 (drop 2 primesST) (inits \$ tail primesST)
where
sieve x q ps (fs:ft) = filter (\y-> all ((/=0).rem y) fs) [x,x+2..q-2]
++ sieve (q+2) (head ps^2) (tail ps) ft
```

`inits` makes a stream of (progressively growing) prefixes of an input stream, starting with an empty prefix, here making the `fs` parameter to get a sequence of values `[], [3], [3,5], ...`.

Runs at empirical $O\left(n^\left\{1.4...\right\}\right)$ time complexity, in ''n'' primes produced. Can be used as a framework for unbounded segmented sieves, replacing divisibility testing with proper sieve of Eratosthenes on arrays, etc.

The filtering function is equivalent to `noDivsBy` [[Primality by trial division#Haskell|defined as part of `isPrime` function]], except that the comparisons testing for the square root are no longer needed and so are spared.

## J

{{eff note|J|(#~ 1&p:)}}

Implementation:

```primTrial=:3 :0
try=. i.&.(p:inv) %: >./ y
candidate=. (y>1)*y=<.y
y #~ candidate*(y e.try) = +/ 0= try|/ y
)
```

Example use:

```   primTrial 1e6+i.100
1000003 1000033 1000037 1000039 1000081 1000099
```

Note that this is a filter - it selects values from its argument which are prime. If no suitable values are found the resulting sequence of primes will be empty.

Note: if you instead want an iterator, 4&p: y returns the next prime after y.

## Julia

{{works with|Julia|0.6}}

I've chosen to solve this task by creating a new iterator type, TDPrimes. TDPrimes contains the upper limit of the sequence. The iteration state is the list of computed primes, and the item returned with each iteration is the current prime. The core of the solution is the next method for TDPrimes, which computes the next prime by trial division of the previously determined primes contained in the iteration state.

```struct TDPrimes{T<:Integer}
uplim::T
end

Base.start{T<:Integer}(pl::TDPrimes{T}) = 2ones(T, 1)
Base.done{T<:Integer}(pl::TDPrimes{T}, p::Vector{T}) = p[end] > pl.uplim
function Base.next{T<:Integer}(pl::TDPrimes{T}, p::Vector{T})
pr = npr = p[end]
ispr = false
while !ispr
npr += 1
ispr = all(npr % d != 0 for d in p)
end
push!(p, npr)
return pr, p
end

println("Primes ≤ 100: ", join((p for p in TDPrimes(100)), ", "))
```

{{out}}

```Primes ≤ 100: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97

## Python

Using the basic ''prime()'' function from: [http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Primality_by_trial_division#Python "Primality by trial division"]

```
def prime(a):
return not (a < 2 or any(a % x == 0 for x in xrange(2, int(a**0.5) + 1)))

def primes_below(n):
return [i for i in range(n) if prime(i)]

```

{{out}}

```>>> primes_below(100)

```

## Racket

Infinite list of primes:

### Using laziness

This example uses infinite lists (streams) to implement a sieve algorithm that produces all prime numbers.

```#lang lazy
(define nats (cons 1 (map add1 nats)))
(define (sift n l) (filter (λ(x) (not (zero? (modulo x n)))) l))
(define (sieve l) (cons (first l) (sieve (sift (first l) (rest l)))))
(define primes (sieve (rest nats)))
(!! (take 25 primes))
```

### = Optimized with postponed processing =

Since a prime's multiples that count start from its square, we should only add them when we reach that square.

```#lang lazy
(define nats (cons 1 (map add1 nats)))
(define (sift n l) (filter (λ(x) (not (zero? (modulo x n)))) l))
(define (when-bigger n l f)
(if (< (car l) n) (cons (car l) (when-bigger n (cdr l) f)) (f l)))
(define (sieve l ps)
(cons (car l) (when-bigger (* (car ps) (car ps)) (cdr l)
(λ(t) (sieve (sift (car ps) t) (cdr ps))))))
(define primes (sieve (cdr nats) primes))
(!! (take 25 primes))
```

Same algorithm as above, but now using threads and channels to produce a channel of all prime numbers (similar to newsqueak). The macro at the top is a convenient wrapper around definitions of channels using a thread that feeds them.

```#lang racket
(syntax-case stx ()
[(_ (name . args) expr ...)
(with-syntax ([out! (datum->syntax stx 'out!)])
#'(define (name . args)
(define out (make-channel))
(define (out! x) (channel-put out x))
(thread (λ() (let loop () expr ... (loop))))
out))]))
(define-thread-loop (nats) (for ([i (in-naturals 1)]) (out! i)))
(let ([x (channel-get c)]) (when (pred? x) (out! x))))
(define (sift n c) (filter (λ(x) (not (zero? (modulo x n)))) c))
(let ([x (channel-get c)]) (out! x) (set! c (sift x c))))
(define primes (let ([ns (nats)]) (channel-get ns) (sieve ns)))
(for/list ([i 25] [x (in-producer (λ() (channel-get primes)))]) x)
```

### Using generators

Yet another variation of the same algorithm as above, this time using generators.

```#lang racket
(require racket/generator)
(define nats (generator () (for ([i (in-naturals 1)]) (yield i))))
(define (filter pred g)
(generator () (for ([i (in-producer g #f)] #:when (pred i)) (yield i))))
(define (sift n g) (filter (λ(x) (not (zero? (modulo x n)))) g))
(define (sieve g)
(generator () (let loop ([g g]) (let ([x (g)]) (yield x) (loop (sift x g))))))
(define primes (begin (nats) (sieve nats)))
(for/list ([i 25] [x (in-producer primes)]) x)
```

## REXX

### somewhat optimized

This is an open-ended approach and it's a simple implementation and could be optimized more with some easy programming.

The method used is to divided all odd numbers by all previous odd primes up to and including the '''√{{overline| }}''' of the odd number.

Usage note: by using a negative number (for the program's argument), the list of primes is suppressed, but the prime count is still shown.

```/*REXX program lists a  sequence of primes  by  testing  primality  by  trial division. */
parse arg n .                                    /*get optional number of primes to find*/
if n=='' | n==","  then n= 26                    /*Not specified?  Then use the default.*/
tell= (n>0);            n= abs(n)                /*Is  N  negative?  Then don't display.*/
@.1=2;     if tell  then say right(@.1, 9)       /*display  2  as a special prime case. */
#=1                                              /*#  is number of primes found (so far)*/
/* [↑]  N:  default lists up to 101 #s.*/
do j=3  by 2  while  #<n                      /*start with the first odd prime.      */
/* [↓]  divide by the primes.   ___    */
do k=2  to #  while  !.k<=j            /*divide  J  with all primes ≤ √ J     */
if j//@.k==0  then iterate j           /*÷ by prev. prime?  ¬prime     ___    */
end   /*j*/                            /* [↑]   only divide up to     √ J     */
#= #+1                                        /*bump the count of number of primes.  */
@.#= j;           !.#= j*j                    /*define this prime; define its square.*/
if tell  then say right(j, 9)                 /*maybe display this prime ──► terminal*/
end   /*j*/                                   /* [↑]  only display N number of primes*/
/* [↓]  display number of primes found.*/
say  #       ' primes found.'                    /*stick a fork in it,  we're all done. */
```

### more optimized

This version shows how the REXX program may be optimized further by extending the list of low primes and

the special low prime divisions (the '''//''' tests, which is the ''remainder'' when doing integer division).

```/*REXX program lists a  sequence of primes  by testing  primality  by  trial division.  */
parse arg N .                                    /*get optional number of primes to find*/
if N=='' | N==","  then N= 26                    /*Not specified?   Then assume default.*/
tell= (N>0);            N= abs(N)                /*N is negative?   Then don't display. */
@.1=2;   @.2=3;   @.3=5;   @.4=7;   @.5=11;   @.6=13;        #= 5;         s= @.# + 2
/*    [↑]  is the number of low primes.*/
do p=1  for #   while  p<=N                /* [↓]  find primes, and maybe show 'em*/
if tell  then say right(@.p, 9)            /*display some pre─defined low primes. */
!.p= @.p**2                                /*also compute the squared value of P. */
end   /*p*/                                /* [↑]  allows faster loop (below).    */
/* [↓]  N:  default lists up to 101 #s.*/
do j=s  by 2  while  #<N                      /*continue on with the next odd prime. */
if j // 3 ==0  then iterate                   /*is this integer a multiple of three? */
parse var  j  ''  -1  _                       /*obtain the last digit of the  J  var.*/
if _      ==5  then iterate                   /*is this integer a multiple of five?  */
if j // 7 ==0  then iterate                   /* "   "     "    "     "     " seven? */
if j //11 ==0  then iterate                   /* "   "     "    "     "     " eleven?*/
/* [↓]  divide by the primes.   ___    */
do k=p  to #  while  !.k<=j            /*divide  J  by other primes ≤ √ J     */
if j//@.k ==0   then iterate j         /*÷ by prev. prime?  ¬prime     ___    */
end   /*k*/                            /* [↑]   only divide up to     √ J     */
#= #+1                                        /*bump the count of number of primes.  */
@.#= j;           !.#= j*j                    /*define this prime; define its square.*/

say  #       ' primes found.'                    /*stick a fork in it,  we're all done. */
```

```

if isPrime(i) see "" + i + " " ok
next
see nl

func isPrime n
if n < 2 return false ok
if n < 4 return true ok
if n % 2 = 0 return false ok
for d = 3 to sqrt(n) step 2
if n % d = 0 return false ok
next
return true

```

## Ruby

The Prime class in the standard library has several Prime generators. In some methods it can be specified which generator will be used. The generator can be used on it's own:

```require "prime"

pg = Prime::TrialDivisionGenerator.new
p pg.take(10) # => [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29]
p pg.next # => 31
```

## Scala

===Odds-Only "infinite" primes generator using Streams and Co-Inductive Streams=== Using Streams, [http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~oneill/papers/Sieve-JFP.pdf the "unfaithful sieve"], i.e. '''sub-optimal trial division sieve'''.

```def sieve(nums: Stream[Int]): Stream[Int] =
val primes = 2 #:: sieve(Stream.from(3, 2))

println(primes take 10 toList) //         //List(2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29)
println(primes takeWhile (_ < 30) toList) //List(2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29)
```

{{out}}Both println statements give the same results:

```List(2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29)
```

The above code is extremely inefficient for larger ranges, both because it tests for primality using computationally expensive divide (modulo) operations and because it sets up deferred tests for division by all of the primes up to each prime candidate, meaning that it has approximately a square law computational complexity with range.

## Sidef

Using the ''is_prime()'' function from: [http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Primality_by_trial_division#Sidef "Primality by trial division"]

```func prime_seq(amount, callback) {
var (counter, number) = (0, 0);
while (counter < amount) {
if (is_prime(number)) {
callback(number);
++counter;
}
++number;
}
}

prime_seq(100, {|p| say p});     # prints the first 100 primes
```

## Spin

This example uses totally naive looping over test divisors `d` of `n` up to `n-1` until a divisor is found or the range is exhausted. This results in `d == n` after the loop if `n` is prime. {{works with|BST/BSTC}} {{works with|FastSpin/FlexSpin}} {{works with|HomeSpun}} {{works with|OpenSpin}}

```

## Tcl

As we're generating a sequence of primes, we can use that sequence of primes to describe what we're filtering against.

```set primes {}
proc havePrime n {
global primes
foreach p \$primes {
# Do the test-by-trial-division
if {\$n/\$p*\$p == \$n} {return false}
}
return true
}
for {set n 2} {\$n < 100} {incr n} {
if {[havePrime \$n]} {
lappend primes \$n
puts -nonewline "\$n "
}
}
puts ""
```

```

```

## zkl

The code in [[Extensible prime generator#zkl]] is a much better solution to this problem. {{trans|Python}}

```fcn isPrime(p){
(p>=2) and (not [2 .. p.toFloat().sqrt()].filter1('wrap(n){ p%n==0 }))
}
fcn primesBelow(n){ [0..n].filter(isPrime) }
```

The Method filter1 stops at the first non False result, which, if there is one, is the first found diviser, thus short cutting the rest of the test.

```primesBelow(100).toString(*).println();
```
