Overview

The set of all prime numbers.

Example

Prime.each(100) do |prime|
  p prime  #=> 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, ...., 97
end

Prime is Enumerable:

Prime.first 5 # => [2, 3, 5, 7, 11]

Retrieving the instance

For convenience, each instance method of Prime.instance can be accessed as a class method of Prime.

e.g.

Prime.instance.prime?(2)  #=> true
Prime.prime?(2)           #=> true

Generators

A “generator” provides an implementation of enumerating pseudo-prime numbers and it remembers the position of enumeration and upper bound. Furthermore, it is an external iterator of prime enumeration which is compatible with an Enumerator.

Prime::PseudoPrimeGenerator is the base class for generators. There are few implementations of generator.

Prime::EratosthenesGenerator

Uses Eratosthenes’ sieve.

Prime::TrialDivisionGenerator

Uses the trial division method.

Prime::Generator23

Generates all positive integers which are not divisible by either 2 or 3. This sequence is very bad as a pseudo-prime sequence. But this is faster and uses much less memory than the other generators. So, it is suitable for factorizing an integer which is not large but has many prime factors. e.g. for Prime#prime? .

Instance Method Details

#each(ubound = nil, generator = EratosthenesGenerator.new, &block) ⇒ Object

Iterates the given block over all prime numbers.

Parameters

ubound

Optional. An arbitrary positive number. The upper bound of enumeration. The method enumerates prime numbers infinitely if ubound is nil.

generator

Optional. An implementation of pseudo-prime generator.

Return value

An evaluated value of the given block at the last time. Or an enumerator which is compatible to an Enumerator if no block given.

Description

Calls block once for each prime number, passing the prime as a parameter.

ubound

Upper bound of prime numbers. The iterator stops after it yields all prime numbers p <= ubound.

  generator.upper_bound = ubound
  generator.each(&block)
end

#include?(obj) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if obj is an Integer and is prime. Also returns true if obj is a Module that is an ancestor of Prime. Otherwise returns false.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

    Module.instance_method(:include?).bind(Prime).call(obj)
  else
    false
  end
end

#int_from_prime_division(pd) ⇒ Object

Re-composes a prime factorization and returns the product.

For the decomposition:

[[p_1, e_1], [p_2, e_2], ..., [p_n, e_n]],

it returns:

p_1**e_1 * p_2**e_2 * ... * p_n**e_n.

Parameters

pd

Array of pairs of integers. Each pair consists of a prime number – a prime factor – and a natural number – its exponent (multiplicity).

Example

Prime.int_from_prime_division([[3, 2], [5, 1]])  #=> 45
3**2 * 5                                         #=> 45

    value * prime**index
  }
end

#prime?(value, generator = Prime::Generator23.new) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if value is a prime number, else returns false. Integer#prime? is much more performant.

Parameters

value

an arbitrary integer to be checked.

generator

optional. A pseudo-prime generator.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

  raise ArgumentError, "Expected a prime generator, got #{generator}" unless generator.respond_to? :each
  raise ArgumentError, "Expected an integer, got #{value}" unless value.respond_to?(:integer?) && value.integer?
  return false if value < 2
  generator.each do |num|
    q,r = value.divmod num
    return true if q < num
    return false if r == 0
  end
end

#prime_division(value, generator = Prime::Generator23.new) ⇒ Object

Returns the factorization of value.

For an arbitrary integer:

p_1**e_1 * p_2**e_2 * ... * p_n**e_n,

prime_division returns an array of pairs of integers:

[[p_1, e_1], [p_2, e_2], ..., [p_n, e_n]].

Each pair consists of a prime number – a prime factor – and a natural number – its exponent (multiplicity).

Parameters

value

An arbitrary integer.

generator

Optional. A pseudo-prime generator. generator.succ must return the next pseudo-prime number in ascending order. It must generate all prime numbers, but may also generate non-prime numbers, too.

Exceptions

ZeroDivisionError

when value is zero.

Example

Prime.prime_division(45)  #=> [[3, 2], [5, 1]]
3**2 * 5                  #=> 45

Raises:

  • (ZeroDivisionError)
