• Include frequency of each prime factor

Summary of Work

Overview

This pull request implements a robust prime factorization function that efficiently decomposes positive integers into their prime factors.

Implementation Details

• Location: src/prime_factorization.py
• Function Signature: prime_factorization(n: int) -> List[int]

Key Features

• Handles input validation for integers
• Supports factorization of positive integers
• Efficient algorithm with optimized prime factor extraction
• Handles edge cases (1, prime numbers, large numbers)

Acceptance Criteria Met

1. Correctly factorizes positive integers
2. Returns prime factors in ascending order
3. Handles edge cases (1, prime numbers)
4. Robust error handling for invalid inputs
   • Raises TypeError for non-integer inputs
   • Raises ValueError for non-positive integers

Algorithm Approach

• Special handling for factor 2
• Optimized trial division method
• Early stopping for performance
• Handles remaining prime factors efficiently

Testing Strategy

• Comprehensive test suite in tests/test_prime_factorization.py
• Test coverage includes:
  • Basic factorization scenarios
  • Prime number handling
  • Edge case verification
  • Invalid input testing
  • Large number factorization

Test Results

• All tests passed successfully
• 5/5 test cases covered
• Verified correctness and robustness of implementation

Considerations

• Time complexity: O(√n)
• Memory complexity: O(log n)
• Suitable for most typical use cases

Potential Future Improvements

• Consider adding support for very large numbers
• Potential optimization for extremely large inputs

Changes Made

• Implemented prime factorization algorithm
• Added comprehensive input validation
• Optimized factor extraction process
• Handled special cases and edge conditions

Tests

• Verify factorization of composite numbers
• Check handling of prime numbers
• Test edge cases like 1 and 2
• Validate error handling for invalid inputs
• Confirm all factors are prime
