Primality by Wilson's theorem
From Rosetta Code
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
Write a boolean function that tells whether a given integer is prime using Wilson's theorem..
By Wilson's thoerem, a number p is prime if p divides (p - 1)! + 1.
Remember that 1 and all non-positive integers are not prime.

ALGOL W[edit]
As with the APL, Tiny BASIC (and possibly others) samples, this computes the factorials mod p at each multiplication to avoid needing numbers larger than the 32 bit limit.
begin
% find primes using Wilson's theorem: %
% p is prime if ( ( p - 1 )! + 1 ) mod p = 0 %
% returns true if n is a prime by Wilson's theorem, false otherwise %
% computes the factorial mod p at each stage, so as to %
% allow numbers whose factorial won't fit in 32 bits %
logical procedure isWilsonPrime ( integer value n ) ;
if n < 2 then false
else begin
integer factorialModN;
factorialModN := 1;
for i := 2 until n - 1 do factorialModN := ( factorialModN * i ) rem n;
factorialModN = n - 1
end isWilsonPrime ;
for i := 1 until 100 do if isWilsonPrime( i ) then writeon( i_w := 1, s_w := 0, " ", i );
end.
- Output:

APL[edit]
This version avoids huge intermediate values by calculating the modulus after each step of the factorial multiplication. This is necessary for the function to work correctly with more than the first few numbers.
wilson ← {⍵<2:0 ⋄ (⍵-1)=(⍵|×)/⍳⍵-1}
- Output:
wilson {(⍺⍺¨⍵)/⍵} ⍳200
2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97 101 103 107 109 113 127 131 137 139 149 151 157 163
167 173 179 181 191 193 197 199
The naive version (using APL's built-in factorial) looks like this:
naiveWilson ← {⍵<2:0 ⋄ 0=⍵|1+!⍵-1}
But due to loss of precision with large floating-point values, it only works correctly up to number 19 even with ⎕CT set to zero:
- Output:
⎕CT←0 ⋄ naiveWilson {(⍺⍺¨⍵)/⍵} ⍳20

The "slow" factor may be different on different processors and programming environments. For example, on Tio.run, the "slow" factor is anywhere between 120 and 180 times slower. Slowness most likely caused by the sluggish BigInteger library usage. The SoE method, although quicker, does consume some memory (due to the flags BitArray). The Wilson's theorem method may consume considerable memory due to the large factorials (the f variable) when computing larger primes.
The Wilson's theorem method is better suited for computing single primes, as the SoE method causes one to compute all the primes up to the desired item. In this C# implementation, a running factorial is maintained to help the Wilson's theorem method be a little more efficient. The stand-alone results show that when having to compute a BigInteger factorial for every primality test, the performance drops off considerably more.

Needless to say, Wilson's theorem is an extremely inefficient way of testing for primalty with 'big integer' arithmetic being needed to compute factorials greater than 20.
Presumably we're not allowed to make any trial divisions here except by the number two where all even positive integers, except two itself, are obviously composite.

res *= k
}
return res
}

Plain English[edit]
To run:
Start up.
Show some primes (via Wilson's theorem).
Wait for the escape key.
Shut down.
The maximum representable factorial is a number equal to 12. \32-bit signed
To show some primes (via Wilson's theorem):
If a counter is past the maximum representable factorial, exit.
If the counter is prime (via Wilson's theorem), write "" then the counter then " " on the console without advancing.
Repeat.
A prime is a number.
A factorial is a number.
To find a factorial of a number:
Put 1 into the factorial.
Loop.
If a counter is past the number, exit.
Multiply the factorial by the counter.
Repeat.
To decide if a number is prime (via Wilson's theorem):
If the number is less than 1, say no.
Find a factorial of the number minus 1. Bump the factorial.
If the factorial is evenly divisible by the number, say yes.
Say no.

Wren[edit]
Due to a limitation in the size of integers which Wren can handle (2^53-1) and lack of big integer support, we can only reliably demonstrate primality using Wilson's theorem for numbers up to 19.
import "/math" for Int
import "/fmt" for Fmt
var wilson = Fn.new { |p|
if (p < 2) return false
return (Int.factorial(p-1) + 1) % p == 0
}
for (p in 1..19) {
Fmt.print("$2d -> $s", p, wilson.call(p) ? "prime" : "not prime")
}
- Output:
1 -> not prime 2 -> prime 3 -> prime 4 -> not prime 5 -> prime 6 -> not prime 7 -> prime 8 -> not prime 9 -> not prime 10 -> not prime 11 -> prime 12 -> not prime 13 -> prime 14 -> not prime 15 -> not prime 16 -> not prime 17 -> prime 18 -> not prime 19 -> prime
