Twin primes are pairs of prime numbers that differ by 2. For example (3, 5), (5, 7), and (11,13) are twin primes.Write a function Twin_Primes(n, m) where n and m are positive integers and n < m , that returns all unique twin primes between m and n (both inclusive). The function returns a list of tuples and each tuple (a,b) represents one unique twin prime where n <= a < b <= m.

Solution

To solve this problem, we can follow these steps:

  1. Define a function named Twin_Primes that takes two parameters, n and m.
  2. Create an empty list to store the twin primes.
  3. Iterate through the range from n to m (inclusive) using a for loop.
  4. Inside the loop, check if the current number and the number 2 greater than it are both prime.
  5. To check if a number is prime, create a helper function named is_prime that takes a number as a parameter.
  6. Inside the is_prime function, iterate through the range from 2 to the square root of the number (rounded up) using a for loop.
  7. Inside the loop, check if the number is divisible by any of the values in the range. If it is, return False.
  8. After the loop, return True to indicate that the number is prime.
  9. Back in the Twin_Primes function, if both the current number and the number 2 greater than it are prime, append a tuple of the current number and the number 2 greater than it to the list of twin primes.
  10. Finally, return the list of twin primes.

Here is the code implementation in Python:

import math

def Twin_Primes(n, m):
    def is_prime(num):
        if num < 2:
            return False
        for i in range(2, math.isqrt(num) + 1):
            if num % i == 0:
                return False
        return True

    twin_primes = []
    for num in range(n, m + 1):
        if is_prime(num) and is_prime(num + 2):
            twin_primes.append((num, num + 2))
    
    return twin_primes

You can now call the Twin_Primes function with your desired values of n and m to get the list of unique twin primes between them.

A prime number is an integer greater or equal to 2 that is only divisible by 1 and by itself. The first few primes are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47 …N is a prime if and only if it is not divisible evenly by any of the numbers from 2 to N−1. Let’s implement this decision as a function.
