"""Compare integer radicals and the two prime-factor counts.
Run from _media: python3 ../prime-factor-multiplicity-comparison.py
The PNG basename is written to the current working directory.
Tested with Python 3.14.4, NumPy 2.3.5 and Matplotlib 3.10.7.
Dependencies are documented in the repository's pyproject.toml.
