Runtime for Sieve of Eratosthenes

I am currently working on making a sieve for school. Here is my code so far:
public static List<Integer> sieve(int input) {
int[] numbers = new int[input - 2 + 1];
int prime = 2;
// start of with 2 since first prime w/ specific multiples
int counter = 0;
for (int i = prime; i <= input; i++) {
numbers[counter] = i;
counter++;
}
// Main sieve logic: remove all multiples of that number (except itself), move onto next number in ArrayList (which must be prime)
for (int x = 0; x < numbers.length; x++) {
for (int j = findIndex(numbers, prime) + 1; j < numbers.length; j++) {
if (numbers[j] % prime == 0) {
numbers[j] = 0;
}
}
for (int k = findIndex(numbers, prime) + 1; k < numbers.length; k++) {
if (numbers[k] != 0) {
prime = numbers[k];
break;
}
}
}
pushZerosToEnd(numbers, numbers.length);
List<Integer> cleanerResult = new ArrayList<>();
for (int y = 0; y < numbers.length; y++) {
if (numbers[y] != 0) {
cleanerResult.add(numbers[y]);
}
}
return cleanerResult;
}
// Assume that pushZerosToEnd() and findIndex() do their specified action
Because this involves many loops, I know that this method will not be efficient or have high runtimes for bigger inputs. However, how would I find the average runtime (in Big O) of my current code so far?

Find the sum of all the primes below two million.My program doesn't work for very big numbers

This is my code for finding the sum of primes.It works good with some low numbers but if it's 2000000(2 million) it never ends.Anybody can help me?
import java.math.BigInteger;
public class Problem010{
public static void main(String[] args) {
BigInteger sum = new BigInteger("2");
//for (int i=3; i<2000000; i++) {
for(int i=3; i<10; i++){
for (int j=2; j<i; j++){
if (i % j == 0)
break;
else if (i == j+1){
sum = sum.add(BigInteger.valueOf(i));
}
}
}
System.out.println("Sum = "+sum);
}
}

your answer is 142913828922 but how?
I just changed your algorithm a little bit:
public static void main(String[] args) {
BigInteger sum = new BigInteger("2");
boolean isPrime = true;
for (int i=3; i<2000000; i++) {
double aa = Math.sqrt((double)i);
for (int j=2; j<=aa; j++){
if (i % j == 0){
isPrime = false;
break;
}
}
if(isPrime){
sum = sum.add(BigInteger.valueOf(i));
}
isPrime = true;
}
System.out.println("Sum = "+sum);
}
instead of going through all the numbers from 2 to i I just go from 2 to sqrt(i) and this improve your code running time a lot :)

#Lrrr, answer is correct. But algorithm can be further optimised. Look at my isPrime algorithm. For 2 million you don't need the BigInteger.
long sum = 2;// new BigInteger("2");
for (int i=3; i<2000000; i++) {
if(isPrime(i)) {
sum = sum + i;//.add(BigInteger.valueOf(i));
}
}
System.out.println("Sum = "+sum);
Here is isPrime method.
static boolean isPrime(int n) {
if (n < 2) {
return false;
}
if (n == 2 || n == 3) {
return true;
}
if ((n & 1) == 0 || n % 3 == 0) {
return false;
}
int sqrtN = (int) Math.sqrt(n) + 1;
for (int i = 6; i <= sqrtN; i += 6) {// loop 6 step
if (n % (i - 1) == 0 || n % (i + 1) == 0) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}

An efficient solution could be to use Sieve of Eratosthenes to find out which number is prime below 2,000,000 (or any other number), and than post-process and sum them all:
int n = 2000000;
boolean[] isPrime = new boolean[n];
//preprocess - set up the array
for (int i = 2; i<n;i++) isPrime[i] = true;
//run sieve:
for (int i = 2; i < (int) Math.sqrt(n) + 1; i++) {
if (isPrime[i]) {
for (int j = 2; j*i < n; j++) isPrime[i*j] = false;
}
}
//sum primes:
long sum = 0;
for (int i = 2; i < n; i++) {
if (isPrime[i]) sum+=i;
}
System.out.println(sum);
As opposed to checking for each number at a time if it is prime or not (which takes O(sqrt(n)) - and by doing it for all numbers you get O(nsqrt(n)), in here you aggregate knowledge from previous iterations, effectively lowering the complexity to O(nloglog(n)), which is significantly faster for large enough values of n.
This comes at a cost of O(n) additional space.

You could use Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm, it is more efficient then yours.
1) Store all numbers between 2 and N in array and mark them all as prime numbers.
2) Start from X = 2, and mark all its i*X (2X, 3X..), where i is natural number less then or equal N, multipliers as not prime. Do not mark X.
3) Find the next number greater then X which is not marked and repeat the procedure. If there is no such number, stop.
4) Remaining numbers in your array are prime
Something like this:
public static boolean[] findPrimes (int N) {
boolean[] primes = new boolean[N + 1];
// assume that all numbers are prime within given range
for (int i = 2; i <= N; i++) {
primes[i] = true;
}
// for all numbers in range, starting from 2
for (int i = 2; i*i <= N; i++) {
// mark natural multiples of i as nonprime
if (primes[i]) {
for (int j = i; i*j <= N; j++) {
primes[i*j] = false;
}
}
return primes;
}
5) Iterate over returned primes and sum indexes of TRUE values

I developed my own solution and it completes in 700 milliseconds to find all below 2 million.
I use the iterative method but I just stop looking for the numbers greater than (n/i)+1 where n is the number being checked if it is prime and i is the number in the iterative loop to see if it is a divisor.
public void run () {
long sumOfPrimes = 2;
int maxNumber = 2000000;
int counter = 0;
for (int i = 3; i <= maxNumber; i = i+2) {
if(isPrimeOptimized(i)){
sumOfPrimes = sumOfPrimes + i;
counter ++;
}
}
System.out.println("num of primes is " + counter);
System.out.println("sum of primes is " + sumOfPrimes);
}
private boolean isPrimeOptimized(int n){
int limitToDivide = n;
for(int i=2;i<=limitToDivide && i<n;i++){
if(n%i == 0)
return false;
else
limitToDivide = (n/i) + 1;
}
return true;
}

So far no one has actually implemented the Sieve correctly. Double check the wikipedia page and pay attention to how you are looping through the numbers. Without any optimizations using an array of int (or booleans) it should take only a few seconds in Java.

Perfect Number program java

I am supposed to create a perfect number class using the following pseudocode:
For i from 2 to “very large”,
For j from 2 to √i,
if (j evenly divides i),
accumulate the sum j and i/j
if √i is an integer
subtract √i ... you added it twice
if the sum of divisors == i
Print the number ... it’s perfect!
So here is my version. It runs, but it doesn't do what I want at all. It just runs and produces nothing as an output. Can someone tell me what is wrong with my program? It's bothering me so much.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class PerfectNumber {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double sum = 0
double newsum = 0;
for (int i = 2; i < 1000000; i++) {
for (int j = 2; i<Math.sqrt(i); j++){
if (i%j==0){
sum = j + (i%j);
}
if (Math.sqrt(i)==(int)i){
newsum = sum - Math.sqrt(i);
}
if (sum == 0) {
System.out.println(sum + "is a perfect number");
}
}
}
}
}

Few mistakes according to the algorithm:
sum = j + (i%j); should be changed to sum = j + (i/j);
This piece:
if (Math.sqrt(i)==(int)i){
newsum = sum - Math.sqrt(i);
}
if (sum == 0) {
System.out.println(sum + "is a prime number");
}
Should be under upper "for"
Math.sqrt(i)==(int)i would never be true unless i is 1. If you want to check this that way you should write Math.sqrt(i)==((int) Math.sqrt(i))
There are much more errors, the simplest way to do it is:
double sum = 0;
for (int i = 1; i <= 10000; i++) {
for (int j = 1; j < i; j++) {
if (i % j == 0) {
sum += j;
}
}
if (i == sum) {
System.out.println(sum + " is a prime number");
}
sum = 0;
}

Your code contains several mistakes. Here is the corrected code, commented with the changes.
// newsum isn't needed; declare sum to be int to avoid floating-point errors
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 2; i < 1000000; i++) {
// Start with 1; every natural number has 1 as a factor.
sum = 1;
// Test if j, not i, is less than the square root of i.
for (int j = 2; j <= Math.sqrt(i); j++){
if (i % j == 0){
// Add to sum; don't replace sum. Use i / j instead of i % j.
sum = sum + j + (i / j);
// Move test inside this if; test if j is square root of i
if (j*j == i){
// I used j because we know it's the square root already.
sum = sum - j;
}
}
// Move print outside of inner for loop to prevent multiple
// printings of a number.
// Test if sum equals the number being tested, not 0.
if (sum == i) {
// Space before is
System.out.println(sum + " is a perfect number");
}
}
}
Output:
6 is a perfect number
28 is a perfect number
496 is a perfect number
8128 is a perfect number

public static void main(String[] args){
int min = 2;
int max = 1000000;
int sum = 0;
for (; min <= max; min++,sum = 0) {
for (int e = 1; e < min; e++)
sum += ((min % e) == 0) ? e : 0;
if (sum == min){
System.out.println(sum);
}
}
}

for(n=1;n<=number;n++){ //calculates the sum of the number.
int i=1;
int sum = 0;
while(i<n){
if(n%i==0)
sum+=i;
i++;
}
if(sum==n){ //if the sum is equal to its sum :
System.out.print(n+": ");
for (int j = 1;j<n;j++){
if(n%j==0){
System.out.print(j+" ");
}
}
System.out.println();
}
}

Here is the simplest and easiest form you can write a program for perfect number....this code gives perfect number within 25 ...you can change as you want
import java.util.Scanner;
public class PerfectNumber {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int n,i,j,count=0;
for(i=2;i<=25;i++) {
for(j=1;j<=i;j++) {
if(i%j ==0) /*count increments if a reminder zero*/ {
count++;
}
}
/*since a perfect number is divided only by 1 and itself
if the count is 2 then its a prime number...*/
if(count==2)
System.out.println(i);
count=0;
}
return 0;
}
}

According to the pseudocode you want to move the second and third if test outside of the inner loop
for (int i = 2; i < 1000000; i++) {
double iroot = Math.sqrt(i);
int sum = 1;
for (int j = 2; j <= iroot; j++){
if (i % j == 0){
sum = sum + j + i / j;
}
}
if (iroot == (int) iroot) {
sum = sum - iroot;
}
if (sum == i) {
System.out.println(sum + "is a perfect number");
}
}

Thanks for watched
public boolean testPerfect(int n){
int i=1;
int sum=0;
while(i<n){
if(n%i==0)
{
sum+=i++;
}
else{
i++;}
}
if (sum==n){
return true;
}
return false;
}

Find the prime-->sieve way

I tried it several times but still gives me ArrayOutOfIndex. But i want to save the memory so i use
boolean[]isPrime = new boolean [N/2+1];
instead of
boolean[]isPrime = new boolean [N+1];
This gives me ArrayOutOfIndex for line 23 and 47
line 23:
for (int i = 3; i <= N; i=i+2) {
isPrime[i] = true;
}
line 47:
for (int i = 3; i <= N; i=i+2) {
if (isPrime[i]) primes++;
...
}
Full code:
public class PrimeSieve {
public static void main(String[] args) {
if (args.length < 1) {
System.out.println("Usage: java PrimeSieve N [-s(ilent)]");
System.exit(0);
}
int N = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
// initially assume all odd integers are prime
boolean[]isPrime = new boolean [N/2+1];
isPrime[2] = true;
for (int i = 3; i <= N; i=i+2) {
isPrime[i] = true;
}
int tripCount = 0;
// mark non-primes <= N using Sieve of Eratosthenes
for (int i = 3; i * i <= N; i=i+2) {
// if i is prime, then mark multiples of i as nonprime
if (isPrime[i]) {
int j = i * i;
while (j <= N){
tripCount++;
isPrime[j] = false;
j = j + 2*i;
}
}
}
System.out.println("Number of times in the inner loop: " + tripCount);
// count and display primes
int primes = 0;
if(N >= 2 ){
primes = 1;
}
for (int i = 3; i <= N; i=i+2) {
if (isPrime[i]) primes++;
if (args.length == 2 && args[1].equals("-s"))
; // do nothing
else
System.out.print(i + " ");
}
System.out.println("The number of primes <= " + N + " is " + primes);
}
}

You should store and access the array using the same indexing function: isPrime[i/2]

When you change the size of your array from [N+1] to [N/2+1], you need to also update the end-conditions of your for-loops. Right now your for-loops run until i=N, so you are trying to do isPrime[i] when i > (N/2+1) ... so you get an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
Change this:
for (int i = 3; i <= N; i=i+2)
to this:
for (int i = 3; i <= N/2; i=i+2)

Well, for example if N=50 your isPrime only holds 26 elements, and you're trying to access the elements at 3,5..47,49 (which, of course, is out of bounds)
What you probably want is to use i/2 (as the index) inside your loops, that way you are still iterating over the numbers 3,5..47,49, but you use the correct indexes of your vector.

Prime Numbers III Problem 18 - I dont get the right answer even though I think I am right

I am new here. I am trying to solve this exercise Problem 18 just for reinforcing my solving skills. I've already coded the answer. The task asks for "How many of the primes below 1,000,000 have the sum of their digits equal to the number of days in a fortnight?" (a fortnight is 14 days). My answers is 16708, but it is wrong. I hope you can help me. I don't know what my error is. I have 2 methods, 1 for generating the primes, and another for counting the digits of each prime.
This is my code:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class Problema18 {
public static void main(String args[]) {
ArrayList<Integer> num = primes();
System.out.println(num);
count(primes());
}
public static ArrayList<Integer> primes() {
List<Integer> primes = new ArrayList<Integer>();
primes.add(2);
for (int i = 3; i <= 1000000; i += 2) {
boolean isPrime = true;
int stoppingPoint = (int) (Math.pow(i, 0.5) + 1);
for (int p : primes) {
if (i % p == 0) {
isPrime = false;
break;
}
if (p > stoppingPoint) { break; }
}
if (isPrime) { primes.add(i); }
}
// System.out.println(primes);
return (ArrayList<Integer>) primes;
//System.out.println(primes.size());
}
public static void count(ArrayList<Integer> num) {
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i <= num.size() - 1; i++) {
int number = num.get(i);
String num1 = String.valueOf(number);
int sum = 0;
for (int j = 0; j < num1.length(); j++) {
sum = Integer.parseInt(num1.charAt(j) + "") + sum;
if (sum == 14) { count++; }
}
System.out.println(sum);
}
System.out.println(count);
}
}

You should check whether sum == 14 outside the inner for loop. What happens now is that you also count those primes for which the sum of digits is larger than 14 but the sum of the digits in some prefix of the prime is equal to 14.

This part...
if (sum == 14) {
count++;
}
should be outside the inner for-loop - i.e. you want to do it each time you pass through the i for-loop, but not each time you pass through the j for-loop.
Like this:
public static void count(ArrayList<Integer> num) {
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i <= num.size() - 1; i++) {
int number = num.get(i);
String num1 = String.valueOf(number);
int sum = 0;
for (int j = 0; j < num1.length(); j++) {
sum = Integer.parseInt(num1.charAt(j) + "") + sum;
}
System.out.println(sum);
if (sum == 14) {
count++;
}
}
System.out.println(count);
}
