Microsoft Azure Notebooks - Live code - F#, R, and Python

I was exploring Jupyter notebooks , that combines live code, markdown and data, through Microsoft's implementation, known as MS Azure Notebooks , putting together a small library of R and F# notebooks . As Microsoft's FAQ for the service describes it as : ...a multi-lingual REPL on steroids. This is a free service that provides Jupyter notebooks along with supporting packages for R, Python and F# as a service. This means you can just login and get going since no installation/setup is necessary. Typical usage includes schools/instruction, giving webinars, learning languages, sharing ideas, etc. Feel free to clone and comment...

Project Euler - Problem #3

I 'cheated' solving this, using a hint for a limit on higher-end of the primes, since there is no built-in way to calculate square roots of Big Integer, other than constructing my own function using the Babylonian, aka Newton's, method.

Description

  • The prime factors of 13195 are 5, 7, 13 and 29.
  • What is the largest prime factor of the number 600851475143?

Solution

open System.Collections
open System.Numerics

let getPrimesInt64 max =
  let primes = new BitArray(max+1, true)
  seq { 2 .. max } |>
  Seq.filter (fun n ->
    if primes.[int n] then
      for i in bigint n * bigint n..bigint n..bigint max do primes.[int i] <- false
    primes.[int n])

//use this size for your array of primes
//let unitTest_P3_PrimeFactors_1_7 = getPrimesInt64 1000000

let FindLargestPrimeFactor (n:BigInteger) =
    let primes = getPrimesInt64 1000000
    let filteredList = primes |> Seq.filter(fun x -> n % bigint x = 0I)
    Seq.max filteredList

let resultingPrimeFactor = FindLargestPrimeFactor 600851475143I

Digit cancelling fractions (Project Euler Problem 33)

Problem The fraction 49/98 is a curious fraction, as an inexperienced mathematician in attempting to simplify it may incorrectly believe that 49/98 = 4/8, which is correct, is obtained by cancelling the 9s. We shall consider fractions like, 30/50 = 3/5, to be trivial examples. There are exactly four non-trivial examples of this type of fraction, less than one in value, and containing two digits in the numerator and denominator. If the product of these four fractions is given in its lowest common terms, find the value of the denominator. (link to Problem 33 on the Project Euler site) Note This is a somewhat crude solution, since I am only just getting back into solving these problems, or working with F#, but there are several similar problems for which I can develop properly factored, reusable functions. Solution open System let product xs ys = seq{for x in xs do for y in ys do let a = float x % float 10 ...

Consecutive Prime Sum (Project Euler - Problem 50)

Problem The prime 41, can be written as the sum of six consecutive primes: 41 = 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 This is the longest sum of consecutive primes that adds to a prime below one-hundred. The longest sum of consecutive primes below one-thousand that adds to a prime, contains 21 terms, and is equal to 953. Which prime, below one-million, can be written as the sum of the most consecutive primes? Note Some libraries used in this code are F# modules I use, but have also published as a  Nuget library , such as EulerLib.GetPrimes() and  EulerLib. isPrime(). You need to reference the NuGetLibrary to use this code as is. Solution #load "Stat.fs" #load "Print.fs" #load "EulerLib.fs" open Stat open Print open EulerLib open System let rec FindLongestPrimeSequenceSum (primeList:list ) (nextItem:int) lessThanValue (primeArray:list ) bestPrime (correctArray:list )...
