Today I solved a problem given in Project Euler its problem no 10 and it took 7 hrs for my python program to show the result. But in that forum itself a person named lassevk posted solution for this and it took only 4 sec. And its not possible for me to post this question in that forum because its not discussion forum. So, think about this if you want to mark this question as non-constructive.

marked = [0] * 2000000
value = 3
s = 2
while value < 2000000:
    if marked[value] == 0:
        s += value
        i = value
        while i < 2000000:
            marked[i] = 1
            i += value
    value += 2
print s

If any one understand this code please explain it simple as possible. Link to the Problem 10 question.
