Count of unordered pairs of semi-prime numbers with prime sum in range [1, N]

Last Updated : 21 Jul, 2022

Given a positive integer N, the task is to find the number of unordered pairs of semi-prime numbers in the range [1, N] such that their sum is prime.

Examples:

Input: N = 25
Output: 5
Explanation:
The valid pairs of semi-prime numbers whose sum is also prime are (10, 21), (14, 15), (15, 22), (20, 21), and (21, 22). The count of such numbers is 5.

Input: N = 100
Output: 313

Approach: The given problem can be solved by using the Sieve of Eratosthenes. An array prime[] can be created where prime[i] stores the distinct prime factors of the number using the Sieve. All numbers in the range [1, N] with 2 distinct prime factors can be stored in a vector semiPrimes. Thereafter, iterate over all unordered pairs of the vector semiPrimes and maintain the count of pairs with prime sum.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program of the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
const int maxn = 100000;
 
// Stores the count of distinct prime
// number in factor of current number
int prime[maxn] = {};
 
// Function to return the vector of
// semi prime numbers in range [1, N]
vector<int> semiPrimes(int N)
{
    // Count of distinct prime number
    // in the factor of current number
    // using Sieve of Eratosthenes
    for (int p = 2; p <= maxn; p++) {
 
        // If current number is prime
        if (prime[p] == 0) {
            for (int i = 2 * p; i <= maxn; i += p)
                prime[i]++;
        }
    }
 
    // Stores the semi prime numbers
    vector<int> sPrimes;
 
    for (int p = 2; p <= N; p++)
 
        // If p has 2 distinct prime factors
        if (prime[p] == 2)
            sPrimes.push_back(p);
 
    // Return vector
    return sPrimes;
}
 
// Function to count unordered pairs of
// semi prime numbers with prime sum
int countPairs(vector<int> semiPrimes)
{
    // Stores the final count
    int cnt = 0;
 
    // Loop to iterate over all the
    // l unordered pairs
    for (int i = 0;
         i < semiPrimes.size(); i++) {
        for (int j = i + 1;
             j < semiPrimes.size(); j++) {
 
            // If sum of current semi prime
            // numbers is a prime number
            if (prime[semiPrimes[i]
                      + semiPrimes[j]]
                == 0) {
                cnt++;
            }
        }
    }
 
    // Return answer
    return cnt;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int N = 100;
    cout << countPairs(semiPrimes(N));
 
    return 0;
}
