is_prime

std.elementwise.is_prime · Level L4

Whether each n ≥ 1 is prime, as 1 or 0: its smallest prime factor is n itself. 1 is not prime.

[spf(n) = n]

Signature

is_prime(n: i64[s]) → f64[s]

Structure

The function as NOVA stores it: one box per input, operation and output, and arrows that carry values. A double border marks another library function this one runs — called once, or by Scan once per element; select it to open that function.

Verification

  • Signature proven by NOVA’s shape solver, for every size.
  • Equal to the reference n > 1 and no divisor in 2 … √n in exact rational arithmetic, on all 40 test cases.
  • All 141 float64 results are exact: the error is zero.
  • Interpreter and NumPy backend return bit-identical results.
  • At float32 too: the 40 test cases rounded to float32, and 40 of them exact, with zero error.

The semantic hash of the graph. It changes when the program changes, and never when only its documentation does.

Needs
no capability: a pure function

Through NOVA’s control layer, the symbol launches this function only while the program still matches what it pins: a change to this graph, or to any graph it reaches, needs a migration first.
