Living in a house that is heated by wood and coal, I wake up to a laptop that is cold. I use this script to warm up my laptop when it’s cold.
#!/usr/bin/perl #this program generates $c prime numbers starting from the number 2 use Strict; use warnings; use POSIX; sub genPrimes($$){ my($ct,$advanced) = @_; my ($i,$possPrime,@primes,$j); $ct = 1 unless $ct; $possPrime =3; @primes = (2); while (@primes<$ct) { $j=0; $div=0; if ($advanced) { while(!$div && $j<@primes && $primes[$j]<($possPrime/2) ){ if ($possPrime % $primes[$j] == 0){ $div=1; } $j++; } } else { while(!$div && $j<@primes){ if ($possPrime % $primes[$j] == 0){ $div=1; } $j++; } } $primes[@primes]=$possPrime unless $div; $possPrime+=2; if (@primes % 100 == 0){ #print $#primes . "\n"; } } return @primes; } sub convertTime($){ local($time) = @_; print $time; $seconds = $time; $minutes = floor($time / 60); $hours = floor($minutes / 60); $seconds -= $minutes * 60; $minutes -= $hours * 60; return ($hours, $minutes, $seconds); } $ct = $ARGV[0]; $start = time(); @primes = genPrimes($ct,0); $end = time(); foreach(@primes){ print; print "\t"; } print "\n"; $start = $end = @startTime = convertTime($start); @endTime = convertTime($end); @diffTime = convertTime($end - $start); print "Start Time: " . $startTime[0] .
