Math::NumSeq::TwinPrimes -- twin primes
use Math::NumSeq::TwinPrimes; my $seq = Math::NumSeq::TwinPrimes->new; my ($i, $value) = $seq->next;
The twin primes 3, 5, 11, 19, 29, etc, where both P and P+2 are primes.
See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::NumSeq for the behaviour common to all path classes.
$seq = Math::NumSeq::TwinPrimes->new ()
$seq = Math::NumSeq::TwinPrimes->new (pairs => 'second')
Create and return a new sequence object. The optional pairs parameter (a string) controls which of each twin-prime pair of values is returned
pairs
"first" the first of each pair, 3,5,11,17 etc "second" the second of each pair 5,7,13,19 etc "both" both values 3,5,7,11,13,17,19 etc "average" the average of the pair, 4,6,12,8 etc
"both" is without repetition, so for example 5 belongs to the pair 3,5 and 5,7, but is returned in the sequence just once.
$bool = $seq->pred($value)
Return true if $value is a twin prime etc. This follows any pairs parameter, so for example "second" means pred() returns true only when $value is the second of a pair, ie. $value-2 is also a prime.
$value
pred()
$value-2
