Twin primes are pairs of natural numbers   (P1  and  P2)   that satisfy the following:

     P1   and   P2   are primes
     P1  +  2   =   P2


Task

Write a program that displays the number of pairs of twin primes that can be found under a user-specified number

(P1 < user-specified number & P2 < user-specified number).



Extension

 Find all twin prime pairs under 100000, 10000000 and 1000000000.
 What is the time complexity of the program? Are there ways to reduce computation time?


Examples

> Search Size: 100
> 8 twin prime pairs.

> Search Size: 1000
> 35 twin prime pairs.
