Hi All,
I was wondering if the following module (it is small) can be made simpler and
faster ... and thoughts would be appreciated.
RandomOdd2[d_] := Module[{res},
res = Random[Integer, {10^(d - 1), 10^d}];
While[(
Mod[res, 02] == 0 || Mod[res, 03] == 0 || Mod[res, 05] == 0 ||
Mod[res, 07] == 0 || Mod[res, 11] == 0 || Mod[res, 13] == 0 ||
Mod[res, 17] == 0 || Mod[res, 19] == 0 || Mod[res, 23] == 0 ||
Mod[res, 29] == 0 || Mod[res, 31] == 0 || Mod[res, 37] == 0 ||
Mod[res, 41] == 0 || Mod[res, 43] == 0 || Mod[res, 47] == 0 ||
Mod[res, 53] == 0 || Mod[res, 59] == 0 || Mod[res, 61] == 0 ||
Mod[res, 71] == 0 || Mod[res, 73] == 0 || Mod[res, 79] == 0 ||
Mod[res, 83] == 0 || Mod[res, 89] == 0 || Mod[res, 97] == 0),
res = Random[Integer, {10^(d - 1), 10^d}]];
res]
It is basically sieving out the first 24 primes (primes <= 100) from the result.
Thank you ... Flip
