sieve of eratosthenes algorithm java code example

Example: sieve in java

class SieveOfEratosthenes

    void sieveOfEratosthenes(int n) 
    { 
        // Create a boolean array "prime[0..n]" and initialize 
        // all entries it as true. A value in prime[i] will 
        // finally be false if i is Not a prime, else true. 
        boolean prime[] = new boolean[n+1]; 
        for(int i=0;i<n;i++) 
            prime[i] = true; 
          
        for(int p = 2; p*p <=n; p++)

            if(prime[p] == true)
