This // example returns their count. // // METHOD // Keep a composite marker array. For each unmarked p up to the square root, mark multiples // starting at p squared; smaller multiples were already handled. Count the remaining // unmarked values from two onward. // // COMPLEXITY // O(n log log n) time and O(n) auxiliary space. // // CONTRACT // n >= 0. Returns the number of primes <= n. The marker array requires memory proportional // to n. // Public APIs infer array lengths except in C, which accepts pointer/length pairs. Vertex // counts and matrix dimensions remain explicit. Arrays must contain signed 32-bit integers. // Sorted order, correct tree topology, and caller-owned data-structure invariants are // preconditions; checking them on every query would change query complexity. // Scalar and shape checks are included. Value-range checks are included where needed to // prevent invalid indexing or nontermination. Allocation sizes are capped at 4,000,000 // workspace entries. Arithmetic outside Python raises an error on 32-bit overflow; Python // uses arbitrary precision. Native allocation failures propagate. In-place outputs may be // partly updated after arithmetic failure. These are single-threaded, in-memory // implementations. // // LANGUAGE DETAILS // PHP 8.1+ on a 64-bit runtime: packed arrays, strict scalar types, read-only inputs by // value using copy-on-write, references only for outputs, and checked 32-bit arithmetic. // Invalid input and overflow throw exceptions. PHP arrays have higher overhead than native // packed buffers in C/Java. // // EXAMPLE // Expected return: 4. // Run: php example.php // Tests for this exact source artifact run before publication. The accompanying source // archive includes unit cases, runtime results, and source hashes. function alg_require(bool $valid): void { if (!$valid) throw new InvalidArgumentException("invalid algorithm input"); } function alg_checked(int|float $v): int { if ($v < -2147483648 || $v > 2147483647 || floor($v) != $v) throw new OverflowException("32-bit result overflow"); return (int)$v; } function alg_add(int $a,int $b): int { return alg_checked($a+$b); } function alg_sub(int $a,int $b): int { return alg_checked($a-$b); } function alg_mul(int $a,int $b): int { return alg_checked($a*$b); } function alg_size(int $n): int { alg_require($n>=0 && $n<=4000000); return $n; } function sieve_count(int $n): int { alg_require((($n >= 0) && ($n <= 1000000))); $composite = array_fill(0, alg_size(alg_add($n, 1)), 0); $p = 2; $multiple = 0; $count = 0; while (($p <= intdiv($n, $p))) { if (($composite[$p] == 0)) { $multiple = alg_mul($p, $p); while (($multiple <= $n)) { $composite[$multiple] = 1; $multiple = alg_add($multiple, $p); } } $p = alg_add($p, 1); } $p = 2; while (($p <= $n)) { if (($composite[$p] == 0)) { $count = alg_add($count, 1); } $p = alg_add($p, 1); } return $count; } $n = 10; $result = sieve_count($n); echo $result, PHP_EOL; |
