1) Read the prime numbers from primes1.csv into a dataframe named primes_df¶
In [ ]:
primes_df = ...
Generating "one less than powers of two"¶
Here's an example of how to check if a prime is a Mersenne prime programmatically:
In [ ]:
p = 31
In [ ]:
for i in range(1, p):
result = 2 ** i - 1
if result == p:
print(f"{p} is a Mersenne prime!")
break
elif result > p:
print(f"{p} is NOT a Mersenne prime :(")
break
Try changing the number of p until you understand how Mersenne primes are calculated. Next, let's find some M-primes using Pandas.
In [ ]:
100_000 ** 2
2) Generate a DataFrame with a sequential list of integers¶
In [ ]:
exp_df = ...
3) Create the column 2^n¶
In [ ]:
exp_df['2^n'] = ...
4) Create the column 2^n - 1¶
In [ ]:
exp_df['2^n - 1'] = ...
Finding Mersenne primes¶
5) Create a new column is_mersenne_prime that contains ALL False values¶
In [ ]:
primes_df['is_mersenne_prime'] = ...
6) Mark the Mersenne primes with a True value¶
