Problem p01958 - Generation 2

Orig Description

Prime-Factor Prime
  A positive integer is called a "prime-factor prime" when the number of its prime factors is prime. For example, $12$ is a prime-factor prime because the number of prime factors of $12 = 2 \times 2 \times 3$ is $3$, which is prime. On the other hand, $210$ is not a prime-factor prime because the number of prime factors of $210 = 2 \times 3 \times 5 \times 7$ is $4$, which is a composite number.
In this problem, you are given an integer interval $[l, r]$. Your task is to write a program which counts the number of prime-factor prime numbers in the interval, i.e. the number of prime-factor prime numbers between $l$ and $r$, inclusive.
Input
  The input consists of a single test case formatted as follows.
$l$ $r$
A line contains two integers $l$ and $r$ ($1 \leq l \leq r \leq 10^9$), which presents an integer interval $[l, r]$. You can assume that $0 \leq r-l < 1,000,000$.
Output
Print the number of prime-factor prime numbers in $[l,r]$.

In the first example, there are 4 prime-factor primes in $[l,r]$: $4,6,8,$ and $9$.

Extracted Specification

An integer l (1 ≤ l ≤ 10^9).
An integer r (l ≤ r ≤ 10^9, and 0 ≤ r-l < 1,000,000).

### Example Input:

```
1 9
```

### Function Signature:
Write a function f(l, r) that takes in the input. 
def f(l: int, r: int): 
    ''' 
    l: an integer
    r: an integer
    '''

Test Case Generator

Sure, here is a test case generator for the "Prime-Factor Prime" problem:

```python
import random

def tcgen():
    # Generate l and r such that 1 ≤ l ≤ r ≤ 10^9 and 0 ≤ r - l < 1,000,000
    l = random.randint(1, 10**9 - 1_000_000)
    r = l + random.randint(0, 999_999)
    
    return l, r

# Example of generating a test case
l, r = tcgen()
print(f"{l} {r}")
```

This code snippet generates random valid test cases for the given problem. Specifically:

1. It ensures that `l` is between 1 and \(10^9 - 1,000,000\) to maintain a valid range.
2. It ensures that `0 ≤ r - l < 1,000,000` by adding a random value between 0 and 999,999 to `l` to get `r`.

To use the generated test case in your solution, you just need to call the `tcgen` function, which will produce a pair of integers, `l` and `r`, meeting the specified constraints.

Extract Arguments
