Project Euler Problem 58:https://projecteuler.net/problem=58
Starting with 1 and spiralling anticlockwise in the following way,
a square spiral with side length 7 is formed.
37 36 35 34 33 32 31
38 17 16 15 14 13 30
39 18 5 4 3 12 29
40 19 6 1 2 11 28
41 20 7 8 9 10 27
42 21 22 23 24 25 26
43 44 45 46 47 48 49
It is interesting to note that the odd squares lie along the bottom right
diagonal ,but what is more interesting is that 8 out of the 13 numbers
lying along both diagonals are prime; that is, a ratio of 8/13 ≈ 62%.
If one complete new layer is wrapped around the spiral above,
a square spiral with side length 9 will be formed.
If this process is continued,
what is the side length of the square spiral for which
the ratio of primes along both diagonals first falls below 10%?
Solution: We have to find an odd length side for which square falls below
10%. With every layer we add 4 elements are being added to the diagonals
,lets say we have a square spiral of odd length with side length j,
then if we move from j to j+2, we are adding j*j+j+1,j*j+2*(j+1),j*j+3*(j+1)
j*j+4*(j+1). Out of these 4 only the first three can become prime
because last one reduces to (j+2)*(j+2).
So we check individually each one of these before incrementing our
count of current primes.
