Finding prime numbers using list comprehention

Question

I was trying to generate all prime numbers in range x to y. I tried simple example first: range(10,11) which means to check if 10 is a prime number:
Here is

Answer 1

Use all to check all elements (from 2 upto x-1) met conditions:

>>> [x for x in range(2, 20)
     if all(x % y != 0 for y in range(2, x))]
[2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19]

Answer 2

The version with filter:

filter(lambda x:all(x % y != 0 for y in range(2, x)), range(2, 13))

Answer 3

One way using set comprehension can be

list(set(range(2,11)) - {x for x in range(11) for y in range(2,x) if x%y == 0})

Answer 4

Program to find prime numbers within a given range using list comprehensions:

min = 10

max = 100

primes = [num for num in range(min,max) if 0 not in [num%i for i in range(2,int(num/2)+1)]]

print (primes)

Answer 5

@falsetru's answer is correct. But also, attention should be paid to optimized code. As someone said in the the comments in Kasra's answer

In [227]: %timeit [x for x in range(4, 1000) if all(x % y != 0 for y in range(2, int(m.sqrt(x)) + 1))]
100 loops, best of 3: 2.08 ms per loop

In [228]: %timeit [x for x in range(4, 1000) if all(x % y != 0 for y in range(2, int(m.sqrt(x)) + 1))]
100 loops, best of 3: 2.09 ms per loop

In [229]: %timeit [x for x in range(4, 1000) if all(x % y != 0 for y in range(2, x-1))]
100 loops, best of 3: 10.4 ms per loop

In [230]: %timeit [x for x in range(4, 1000) if all(x % y != 0 for y in range(2, x-1))]
100 loops, best of 3: 10.3 ms per loop
