Successive prime differences

Categorized by Successive

Essentially the code from the Sexy primes task with minor tweaks.

use Math::Primesieve;
my $sieve = Math::Primesieve.new;

my $max = 1_000_000;
my @primes = $sieve.primes($max);
my $filter = @primes.Set;
my $primes = @primes.categorize: &successive;

sub successive ($i) {
    gather {
        take '2' if $filter{$i + 2};
        take '1' if $filter{$i + 1};
        take '2_2' if all($filter{$i «+« (2,4)});
        take '2_4' if all($filter{$i «+« (2,6)});
        take '4_2' if all($filter{$i «+« (4,6)});
        take '6_4_2' if all($filter{$i «+« (6,10,12)}) and
            none($filter{$i «+« (2,4,8)});
    }
}

sub comma { $^i.flip.comb(3).join(',').flip }

for (2,), (1,), (2,2), (2,4), (4,2), (6,4,2) -> $succ {
    say "## Sets of {1+$succ} successive primes <= { comma $max } with " ~
        "successive differences of { $succ.join: ', ' }";
    my $i = $succ.join: '_';
    for 'First', 0, ' Last', * - 1 -> $where, $ind {
        say "$where group: ", join ', ', [\+] flat $primes{$i}[$ind], |$succ
    }
    say '      Count: ', +$primes{$i}, "\n";
}

Output:

Precomputed Differences

use Math::Primesieve;

constant $max    = 1_000_000;
constant @primes = Math::Primesieve.primes($max);
constant @diffs  = @primes.skip Z- @primes;

say "Given all ordered primes <= $max, sets with successive differences of:";
for (2,), (1,), (2,2), (2,4), (4,2), (6,4,2) -> @succ {
    my $size = @succ.elems;

    my @group_start_offsets = @diffs.rotor( $size => 1-$size )
                                    .grep(:k, { $_ eqv @succ });

    my ($first, $last) = @group_start_offsets[0, *-1]
                         .map: { @primes.skip($_).head($size + 1) };

    say sprintf '%10s has %5d sets: %15s … %s',
        @succ.gist, @group_start_offsets.elems, $first, $last;
}
