Sieve of Eratosthenes in java
Sieve of Eratosthenes is the ancient algorithm to find prime numbers up to a given number.
Algorithm
1. Generate integers from 2 to n (Given number).

2. Counting from 2 mark every 2nd integer. (multiples of 2)

3. Now, starting from 3 mark every third integer. (multiples of 3)

4. Finally, marking from 5 mark every 5th integer.(multiples of 5)

Program
import java.util.Scanner;
public class SievePrimeFactors {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a number");
int num = sc.nextInt();
boolean[] bool = new boolean[num];
for (int i = 0; i< bool.length; i++) {
bool[i] = true;
}
for (int i = 2; i< Math.sqrt(num); i++) {
if(bool[i] == true) {
for(int j = (i*i); j<num; j = j+i) {
bool[j] = false;
}
}
}
System.out.println("List of prime numbers upto given number are : ");
for (int i = 2; i< bool.length; i++) {
if(bool[i]==true) {
System.out.println(i);
}
}
}
}
Output
Enter a number 50 List of prime numbers up to given number are : 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47
