Hi, I'm trying to find the sum of the prime numbers < 2'000'000. This is my solution in java but I can't seem get the correct answer. Please give some input on what could be wrong and general advice on the code is appreciated.
Printing 'sum' gives: 1308111344, which is incorrect.
/*
The sum of the primes below 10 is 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 17.
Find the sum of all the primes below two million.
*/
class Helper{
public void run(){
Integer sum = 0;
for(int i = 2; i < 2000000; i++){
if(isPrime(i))
sum += i;
}
System.out.println(sum);
}
private boolean isPrime(int nr){
if(nr == 2)
return true;
else if(nr == 1)
return false;
if(nr % 2 == 0)
return false;
for(int i = 3; i < Math.sqrt(nr); i += 2){
if(nr % i == 0)
return false;
}
return true;
}
}
class Problem{
public static void main(String[] args){
Helper p = new Helper();
p.run(); } }
