You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
The series of increasing prime numbers begins: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, ...
The task applies a filter to the series returning groups of successive primes, (s'primes), that differ from the next by a given value or values.
Example 1: Specifying that the difference between s'primes be 2 leads to the groups:
(3, 5), (5, 7), (11, 13), (17, 19), (29, 31), ...
(Known as Twin primes or Prime pairs)
Example 2: Specifying more than one difference between s'primes leads to groups of size one greater than the number of differences. Differences of 2, 4 leads to the groups:
(5, 7, 11), (11, 13, 17), (17, 19, 23), (41, 43, 47), ....
In the first group 7 is two more than 5 and 11 is four more than 7; as well as 5, 7, and 11 being successive primes.
Differences are checked in the order of the values given, (differences of 4, 2 would give different groups entirely).
- Task
- In each case use a list of primes less than 1_000_000
- For the following Differences show the first and last group, as well as the number of groups found:
- Differences of
2. - Differences of
1. - Differences of
2, 2. - Differences of
2, 4. - Differences of
4, 2. - Differences of
6, 4, 2.
- Differences of
- Show output here.
Note: Generation of a list of primes is a secondary aspect of the task. Use of a built in function, well known library, or importing/use of prime generators from other Rosetta Code tasks is encouraged.
