java sieve of eratosthenes 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] is not changed, then it is a prime
if(prime[p] == true)
{
// Update all multiples of p
for(int i = p*p; i <= n; i += p)
prime[i] = false;
}
}
// Print all prime numbers
for(int i = 2; i <= n; i++)
{
if(prime[i] == true)
System.out.print(i + " ");
}
}
// Driver Program to test above function
public static void main(String args[])
{
int n = 30;
System.out.print("Following are the prime numbers ");
System.out.println("smaller than or equal to " + n);
SieveOfEratosthenes g = new SieveOfEratosthenes();
g.sieveOfEratosthenes(n);
}
}
