2614. Prime In Diagonal

Problem Link

Description

---

You are given a 0-indexed two-dimensional integer array nums.

Return the largest prime number that lies on at least one of the diagonals of nums. In case, no prime is present on any of the diagonals, return 0.

Note that:

• An integer is prime if it is greater than 1 and has no positive integer divisors other than 1 and itself.
• An integer val is on one of the diagonals of nums if there exists an integer i for which nums[i][i] = val or an i for which nums[i][nums.length - i - 1] = val.

In the above diagram, one diagonal is [1,5,9] and another diagonal is [3,5,7].

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [[1,2,3],[5,6,7],[9,10,11]]
Output: 11
Explanation: The numbers 1, 3, 6, 9, and 11 are the only numbers present on at least one of the diagonals. Since 11 is the largest prime, we return 11.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [[1,2,3],[5,17,7],[9,11,10]]
Output: 17
Explanation: The numbers 1, 3, 9, 10, and 17 are all present on at least one of the diagonals. 17 is the largest prime, so we return 17.

 

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 300
• nums.length == numsi.length
• 1 <= nums[i][j] <= 4*106

Python3

def build(n):
    primes = [True] * (n + 1)  # create a boolean list of all numbers from 0 to n, assume all are prime
    primes[0] = primes[1] = False  # 0 and 1 are not prime
 
    for i in range(2, int(math.sqrt(n)) + 1):  # iterate over all numbers up to the square root of n
        if primes[i]:  # if i is prime
            for j in range(i*i, n+1, i):  # mark all multiples of i as not prime
                primes[j] = False
    
    return primes
 
p = build(4000001)
 
class Solution:
    def diagonalPrime(self, nums: List[List[int]]) -> int:
        N = len(nums)
        res = 0
        
        for i in range(N):
            if p[nums[i][i]]:
                res = max(res, nums[i][i])
            
            if p[nums[i][N - i - 1]]:
                res = max(res, nums[i][N - i - 1])
    
        return res
