Hi again, Gerson:

Please do it if you wish, that's no intrusion. I mentioned RPL and those particular models because they have ISPRIME built-in (not sure about the HP-71B or its Math ROM).

Ok, thanks. Since you asked for it, this is my HP-71B code. All the work is done by the one line in the middle (45 bytes), the first line is just initialization and the last line is just for outputting results and timing:

      1   DESTROY ALL @ DIM T(9) @ INPUT N @ SETTIME 0 @ P=5
      2   FOR I=1 TO N @ P=FPRIM(P+2) @ L=MOD(P,10) @ T(L)=T(L)+1 @ NEXT I
      3   FOR I=1 TO 9 STEP 2 @ DISP T(I); @ NEXT I @ DISP TIME


As I told Carsen in my previous post above, there's no need for strings and there's no need for comparisons, cases, or whatever unneeded complexities, using the last digit as an index to increment that digit's count is all it takes to keep the tally. Running my code in go71b on an budget Android tablet I get this results and timings:

>RUN

    ? 100     ->   24, 26, 26, 24              in   0.07 sec.
    ? 1000    ->   245, 253, 256, 246          in   1.05 sec.
    ? 10000   ->   2485, 2515, 2508, 2492      in  18.21 sec.
    ? 100000  ->   24968, 25008, 25015, 25009  in 443.91 sec.


Best regards and have a nice weekend.

V.
