Legendre prime counting function
func legendre_phi(x, a) is cached {
return x if (a <= 0)
__FUNC__(x, a-1) - __FUNC__(idiv(x, a.prime), a-1)
}
func legendre_prime_count(n) is cached {
return 0 if (n < 2)
var a = __FUNC__(n.isqrt)
legendre_phi(n, a) + a - 1
}
print("e n Legendre builtin\n",
"- - -------- -------\n")
for n in (1 .. 9) {
printf("%d %12d %10d %10d\n", n, 10**n,
legendre_prime_count(10**n), prime_count(10**n))
assert_eq(legendre_prime_count(10**n), prime_count(10**n))
}Output:
Alternative implementation of the Legendre phi function, by counting k-rough numbers <= n.
