UniMath

A collection of basic math games in Python 3, which I want to evolve into some sort of small statistical/mathematical playpen:

primes_finder

A simple, basic, slightly optimised Py3 prime numbers finder. To do: organize the outcome graphically and give out the evaluation time upon search completion.

dice

Have the computer roll a dice. To do: prompt the user for an amount of tosses, store the outcomes and give a graphical representation of the distribution.

guess_dice

Guess the the outcome of a dice roll. To do: make this go on a few times, and when the user quits give a graphical representation of the expected matches vs the standard probability of a match.

This should run on Linux, Windows and Mac systems indifferently. I wrote the clear() function for UniMath to be sure that it gives no issues on Windows, but I only tested it on Linux so far. Mac is UNIX-based so there should be no problem for a console-based application like this one.

primes_finder: when I say it's slightly optimised it means I implemented a few solutions to keep the number of calculatons to a decent order of magnitude. I did the following:

def scanner(lLim, hLim, primes):
	for i in range(lLim, hLim, 2): --> The answer can't be an even number, 
			       --> so skip two by two. Function lLim
			       --> will transform even lower limits.
		isPrime = True
		j = 3 --> Because of course I start from 3 :) 
	      --> Starting from an odd number makes skipping 
	      --> by two effective by skipping even numbers.
		top = int(i ** 0.5) --> The dividend of a non-prime 
	                    --> is found before its square root 
			    --> is reached, so that's the higher limit.
	for j in range(3, top, 2):
		if i % j == 0:
			isPrime = False
			break
	if isPrime:
		primes.append(i)
return(primes)

I also wanted to add a check which made sure no number ending in 5 (skipping even numbers is already in place by now) would be evaluated, but I believe it would actually make the order of magnitude bigger for low numbers. Please let me know if you think otherwise.

Dependencies

Python 3 (should run on any Posix or Windows environment)
