Cops and Robbers: Redacted Primality (Cops' Thread)

Question

^{This challenge was originally sandboxed by Magic Octopus Urn; I adopted and posted it with his permission.}

This is the cops' thread. The robbers' thread is here.

The challenge

• Step One: Write a piece of code (function or full program) which checks for primality.
• Step Two: Remove pieces of your code by replacing characters with the symbol █.
• Step Three: Post the redacted code on the cops thread.
• Step Four: Wait for your code to be cracked and try to crack other's code.

For example, the Groovy code {it.isPrime()} could become {██.is█████()}. (This one would be stupidly easy to crack; also, I know, .isPrime() is not a Groovy method.)

---

Scoring

You must include your program's score in its submission. The score is defined as the ratio of redacted characters to characters. So if your program had 20 characters and 5 were redacted, your score would be 0.25. The Groovy code above would have a score of 0.5.

---

Rules

• Your program only needs to handle positive integers. It should output a truthy value if the number is prime and a falsy value otherwise. Please specify in your answer what it outputs.
• Your code may not contain any comments or unnecessary whitespace.
• No hashing or cryptographic obfuscation.
• Your code may be no more than 50% redacted (at least 1/2 the characters must be shown). This means that the highest possible score is 0.5.
• If your answer is not cracked within a week you may mark it safe and edit in the intended crack.

---

Winning

The winner will be the lowest-scoring uncracked answer within two weeks of posting. In the case of a tie, whichever has the most votes will win. This thread is always open to more submissions, but the winner chosen after two weeks will be permanent.

This is a COM program; expects number as a command line argument, outputs Y or N. Limit: 65535 because 16 bit processor (sizeof(int) would be 2). Newline is 0x0D 0x0A on this platform. Yes you count 20 █ instead of 19 █. One of them's a real █ and has not been substituted. Muhahaha.

The space in position 10 is actually a NUL byte. The symbol for NUL is the same as space in the old VGA font.

]I))))I))>    >)2   $;@   >I)(B

Try it online!

Explanation

Due to the randomness that comes from ? it's not possible to flatten the program. Here's the flat program with a question mark where a random expression will be:

Y(yG(BKL2)(B(S(BS(C(BC(C(BB(B(?(yg(KZ)(C(C(BB(BS(b(C(BBI)I))))(C(BC(b(C(BBI)I)))I))(C-))))I))I))0)))(C(BC(B(BB)(C(BBI)(B]I))))I)))2$;@

Full program:

Y{trial_division}      --  fix-point of {trial_division}
                 2     --  apply 2 (begin division with 2)
                  $    --  apply argument (work with the supplied input)
                   ;   --  print result as boolean
                    @  --  terminate program

The {trial_division}:

y                         -- recursive function with two arguments x,y
 G                        -- | base predicate: x >= y
  (BKL2)                  -- | base function:  BKL2 x y
                             |  ->             K(L2) x y
                             |  ->             L2 y
                             |  ->             2 <= y
        {recursive_call}  -- | recursive call

{recursive_call}, taking arguments f (self-reference), x and y (note 0 is the same as False)

  B (S(BS(C(BC(C(BB(B{divides}I))I))0))) (C(BC(B(BB)(C(BBI)(B]I))))I) f x y
->       (C(BC(C(BB(B{divides}I))I))0) x y (BC(B(BB)(C(BBI)(B]I)))) f I x y)
->       (C(BC(C(BB(B{divides}I))I))0) x y (BC(B(BB)(C(BBI)(B]I)))) f I x y)
->            (C(BB(B{divides}I))I) x y 0  (BC(B(BB)(C(BBI)(B]I)))) f I x y)
->            (C(BB(B{divides}I))I) x y 0  (   B(BB)(C(BBI)(B]I))   f x I y)
->                   {divides}      x y 0  (         C(BBI)(B]I)    f x y  )
->              if x `divides` y then 0 else         C(BBI)(B]I)    f x y
->                                                    f (B]I x)  y
->                                                    f (] x) y
->                                                    f (x+1) y

{divides} is ?(yg(KZ)(C(C(BB(BS(b(C(BBI)I))))(C(BC(b(C(BBI)I)))I))(C-))) where ? is randomly chosen (depending on the random direction) from:

• Y
• S(CBO)(CBO)
• S(SB(KO))(BBSBKO)

These are all equivalent to each other, so {divides} becomes the fix-point of:

y                       -- recursive function with two arguments x,y
 g                      -- | base predicate: x > y
  (KZ)                  -- | base function:  KZ x y
                        -- |  ->              0 == y
      {recursive_call}  -- | recursive call

{recursive_call} is a pretty obfuscated expression that basically just does f x (y-x)

int p(int n){int r███████2;██r███r++)███+███n;████&███r));return███████n██;}

Having this many blanks means that I will be much more likely to get an unintended crack than the intended one.

Solution:

int p(int n){int r=1,e=n%2;for(;(r++)*(r++)<n;e=e&&(n%r));return e?n>1:n<3;}

explanation:

e holds a boolean value of whether or not the number is not prime (with a few special case exceptions). r iterates through the odd numbers less than or equal to the square root of n. return e?n>1:n<3; handles the special cases when n is 1 or 2.
