This is an exciting take-home assignment because I get to write a service in Elixir!

# Semiprimes Service
|
||||
|
||||
## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
A **composite** is a number containing at least two prime factors. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
15 = 3 × 5
|
||||
9 = 3 × 3
|
||||
12 = 2 × 2 × 3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
There are ten composites below thirty containing precisely two, not necessarily
|
||||
distinct, prime factors: `4, 6, 9, 10, 14, 15, 21, 22, 25, 26`. Let’s call such
|
||||
numbers *Semiprimes*.
|
||||
|
||||
## Task
|
||||
|
||||
- Write a module which provides a function to tell whether a given number, `N`,
|
||||
is a semiprime. `N` will be 10^5.
|
||||
- Please implement an API (RESTful or GraphQL) to factor a given number into two
|
||||
prime numbers if it’s a semiprime, otherwise, return an error message.
|
||||
|
||||
## Stretch Goals
|
||||
|
||||
- Handle the invalid inputs.
|
||||
- Support batch requests: i.e. users could provide 100 numbers, and the API
|
||||
return the answer for all.
|
||||
- Considering this module will be used by a long running service, could you
|
||||
optimize it to give answers faster?
