number of prime numbers upto n code example
Example 1: Write a program that prints all prime numbers less than 1,000,000
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (int i = 2; i < 1_000_000; ++i) {
boolean isPrime = true;
int sqrt = (int)Math.ceil(Math.sqrt(i));
for (int divisor = 2; divisor <= sqrt; ++divisor) {
if (i % divisor == 0) {
isPrime = false;
break;
}
}
if (isPrime) {
System.out.println(i);
}
}
}
}
Example 2: generate all prime number less than n java
/**
Author: Jeffrey Huang
As far as I know this is almost the fastest method in java
for generating prime numbers less than n.
A way to make it faster would be to implement Math.sqrt(i)
instead of i/2.
I don't know if you could implement sieve of eratosthenes in
this, but if you could, then it would be even faster.
If you have any improvements please email me at
