Chicken Scheme program to compute the sum of all primes below the number passed via the command line. Used to brute force a Project Euler problem. Compile using `csc` for better performance.
(use srfi-42)
(define (range from upto)
(list-ec (:range n from upto) n))
(define (zero-length? l)
(= (length l) 0))
(define (no-remainder? n d)
(= (remainder n d) 0))
(define (rounded-sqrt n)
(inexact->exact (round (sqrt n))))
(define (prime? x)
(if (< x 2)
#f
(zero-length?
(filter (lambda (i) (no-remainder? x i))
(range 2 (add1 (rounded-sqrt x)))))))
(define (sum-of-primes upto)
(fold + 0 (filter prime? (range 2 upto))))
; get the sum of all primes below the number passed via the command line
(define (main args)
(map print (map sum-of-primes (map string->number args))))
; run main when compiled with csc
(cond-expand
((and chicken compiling)
(main (command-line-arguments)))
(else #f))
