I mean...doing this above 1e10 won't be easy anyway, no matter prime or composite.
Lincoln Poon,
Yes, they're really the same problem, as (designating the composite counting function as κ(n)), κ(n) + 𝜋(n) + 1 = n. There are techniques to do the count without creating an array for x>√n, and even for x>∛n.
If anyone does find a way to solve this precisely without some hack, please, publish a scientific paper, and do not post your code here. This problem is not made from an easy sequence at all.
