in reply to Prime Number Finder

Old discussion, but I figure I'll throw in my attempt at calculating primes without modules, and using only recursive functions (no loops)
#!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; use 5.010; $DB::deep = 500; $DB::deep = $DB::deep; # Avoids silly 'used only once' warning no warnings "recursion"; # Identify primes between ARG0 and ARG1 my ($x, $y, $re_int, $result); my ($prime, $is_int); $x = $ARGV[0]; $y = $ARGV[1]; $is_int = sub { my $re_int = qr(^-?\d+\z); my ($x) = @_; $x =~ $re_int ? 1 : 0; }; $prime = sub { my ( $x, $y ) = @_; if ( $y > 1 ) { given ($x) { when ( $is_int->( $x / $y ) ) { return 0; } default { return $prime->( $x, $y - 1 ); } } } else { return 1; } }; $result = sub { my ( $x, $y ) = @_; if ( $x <= $y ) { if ( $prime->($x, $x-1) ) { say $x; } $result->( ( $x + 1 ), $y ); } }; $result->($x, $y);

    this is the actual code that works on windows and generates prime numbers upto the number you wish, check below code: #!usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; my $o = 2; print "enter upto what no.you wish generate the primes: "; my $e = <STDIN>; my ($i,$j,$p); my @prime_=(); print "prime numbers are:\n"; for($i=$o; $i<=$e; $i++){ $p=0; for($j=1; $j<=$i; $j++){ if($i % $j== 0){ $prime_$p = "$j"; $p++; } if ($prime_1 == $i) { print "$i\t"; } } } print"\n";

      this is the actual code which works for windows

      #!usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; my $o = 2; print "enter upto what number you wish to generate the primes: "; my $e = <STDIN>; my ($i,$j,$p); my @prime_=(); print "prime numbers are:\n"; for($i=$o; $i<=$e; $i++) { $p=0; for($j=1; $j<=$i; $j++) { if($i % $j== 0) { $prime_[$p] = "$j"; $p++; } if ($prime_[1] == $i) { print "$i\t"; } } } print"\n";
        This code is quite fast, since it skips a lot of unnecessary operations
        #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use POSIX; my ($i,$j,$h,$sentinel) = (0,0,0,0); # i>=3 for($i=1000000000; $i<=1000000500; $i++){ # if $i is an even number, it can't be a prime if($i%2==0){} else{ $h=POSIX::floor(sqrt($i)); $sentinel=0; # since $i can't be even -> only divide by odd numbers for($j=3; $j<=$h; $j+=2){ if($i%$j==0){ $sentinel++; # $i is not a prime, we can get out of the loop $j=$h; } } if($sentinel==0){ print "$i \n"; } } }
