[Golang] Goldbach's conjecture
June 06, 2017
Goldbach's conjecture - Every even integer greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two primes.
Given a positive even integer, write a Go program to find the two primes.
Strategy:
- Find all primes under the given number by sieve of Eratosthenes. [4]
- Find the two primes in previous step that sum up to the given number.
// Find all primes <= n func SieveOfEratosthenes(n int) []int { // Create a boolean array "prime[0..n]" and initialize // all entries it as true. A value in prime[i] will // finally be false if i is Not a prime, else true. integers := make([]bool, n+1) for i := 2; i < n+1; i++ { integers[i] = true } for p := 2; p*p <= n; p++ { // If integers[p] is not changed, then it is a prime if integers[p] == true { // Update all multiples of p for i := p * 2; i <= n; i += p { integers[i] = false } } } // return all prime numbers <= n var primes []int for p := 2; p <= n; p++ { if integers[p] == true { primes = append(primes, p) } } return primes } // Given a positive even integer n, // return the two primes that sum up to n. func Goldbach(n int) (p1, p2 int) { if n < 3 { return } if n%2 == 1 { return } primes := SieveOfEratosthenes(n) m := make(map[int]bool) for i := 0; i < len(primes); i++ { m[primes[i]] = true } for p, _ := range m { if _, ok := m[n-p]; ok { p1 = p p2 = n - p return } } return }
Tested on: Go Playground
