=head1 NAME

Math::Prime::Util::PrimeArray - A tied array for primes


=head1 VERSION

Version 0.59


=head1 SYNOPSIS

  # Use package and create a tied variable
  use Math::Prime::Util::PrimeArray;
  tie my @primes, 'Math::Prime::Util::PrimeArray';

  # or all in one (allowed: @primes, @prime, @pr, @p):
  use Math::Prime::Util::PrimeArray '@primes';

  # Use in a loop by index:
  for my $n (0..9) {
    print "prime $n = $primes[$n]\n";
  }

  # Use in a loop over array:
  for my $p (@primes) {
    last if $p > 1000;   # stop sometime
    print "$p\n";
  }

  # Use via array slice:
  print join(",", @primes[0..49]), "\n";

  # Use via each:
  use 5.012;
  while( my($index,$value) = each @primes ) {
    last if $value > 1000;   # stop sometime
    print "The ${index}th prime is $value\n";
  }

  # Use with shift:
  while ((my $p = shift @primes) < 1000) {
    print "$p\n";
  }


=head1 DESCRIPTION

An array that acts like the infinite set of primes.  This may be more
convenient than using L<Math::Prime::Util> directly, and in some cases it can
be faster than calling C<next_prime> and C<prev_prime>.

If the access pattern is ascending or descending, then a window is sieved and
results returned from the window as needed.  If the access pattern is random,
then C<nth_prime> is used.

Shifting acts like the array is losing elements at the front, so after two
shifts, C<$primes[0] == 5>.  Unshift will move the internal shift index back
one, unless given an argument which is the number to move back.  It will
not shift past the beginning, so C<unshift @primes, ~0> is a useful way to
reset from any shifts.

Example:

  say shift @primes;     # 2
  say shift @primes;     # 3
  say shift @primes;     # 5
  say $primes[0];        # 7
  unshift @primes;       #     back up one
  say $primes[0];        # 5
  unshift @primes, 2;    #     back up two
  say $primes[0];        # 2

If you want sequential primes with low memory, I recommend using
L<Math::Prime::Util/forprimes>.  It is much faster, as the tied array
functionality in Perl is not high performance.  It isn't as flexible as
the prime array, but it is a very common pattern.

If you prefer an iterator pattern, I would recommend using
L<Math::Prime::Util/prime_iterator>.  It will be a bit faster than using this
tied array, but of course you don't get random access.  If you find yourself
using the C<shift> operation, consider the iterator.


=head1 LIMITATIONS

The size of the array will always be shown as 2147483647 (IV32 max), even in
a 64-bit environment where primes through C<2^64> are available.

Perl will mask all array arguments to 32-bit, making C<2^32-1> the maximum
prime through the standard array interface.  It will silently wrap after
that.  The only way around this is using the object interface:

    use Math::Prime::Util::PrimeArray;
    my $o = tie my @primes, 'Math::Prime::Util::PrimeArray';
    say $o->FETCH(2**36);

Here we store the object returned by tie, allowing us to call its FETCH
method directly.  This is actually faster than using the array.

Some people find the idea of shifting a prime array abhorrent, as after
two shifts, "the second prime is 7?!".  If this bothers you, do not use
C<shift> on the tied array.

  MPU forprimes:  forprimes { $sum += $_ } nth_prime(100_000);
  MPU iterator:   my $it = prime_iterator; $sum += $it->() for 1..100000;
  MPU array:      $sum = vecsum( @{primes(nth_prime(100_000))} );
  MPUPA:          tie my @prime, ...; $sum += $prime[$_] for 0..99999;
  MPUPA-FETCH:    my $o=tie my @pr, ...; $sum += $o->FETCH($_) for 0..99999;
  MNSP:           my $seq = Math::NumSeq::Primes->new;
                  $sum += ($seq->next)[1] for 1..100000;
  MPTA:           tie my @prime, ...; $sum += $prime[$_] for 0..99999;
  List::Gen       $sum = primes->take(100000)->sum

Memory use is comparing the delta between just loading the module and running
the test.  Perl 5.20.0, Math::NumSeq v70, Math::Prime::TiedArray v0.04,
List::Gen 0.974.

L<Math::Prime::Util> offers four obvious solutions: the C<sum_primes> function,
a big array, an iterator, and the C<forprimes> construct.  The big array is
fast but uses a B<lot> of memory, forcing the user to start programming
segments.  Using the iterator avoids all the memory use, but isn't as fast
(this may improve in a later release, as this is a new feature).  The
C<forprimes> construct is both fast and low memory, but it isn't quite as
flexible as the iterator (most notably there is no way to exit early, and it
doesn't lend itself to wrapping inside a filter).

L<Math::NumSeq::Primes> offers an iterator alternative, and works quite well
as long as you don't need lots of primes.  It does not support random access.
It has reasonable performance for the first few hundred thousand, but each
successive value takes much longer to generate, and once past 1 million it
isn't very practical.  Internally it is sieving all primes up to C<n> every
time it makes a new segment which is why it slows down so much.

L<List::Gen> includes a built-in prime sequence.  It uses an inefficient
Perl sieve for numbers below 10M, trial division past that.  It uses too
much time and memory to be practical for anything but very small inputs.
It also gives incorrect results for large inputs (RT 105758).

L<Math::Primes::TiedArray> is remarkably impractical for anything other
than tiny numbers.


=head1 SEE ALSO

This module uses L<Math::Prime::Util> to do all the work.  If you're doing
anything but retrieving primes, you should examine that module to see if it
has functionality you can use directly, as it may be a lot faster or easier.

Similar functionality can be had from L<Math::NumSeq>
and L<Math::Prime::TiedArray>.
