Solution:
public class Solution { public int countPrimes(int n) { if (n<=2) return 0; boolean[] marked = new boolean[n]; for (int i=3;i*i<n;i+=2) if (!marked[i]){ // i*i+(2*k+1)*i = i*(i+1+2k) is an even value because (i+1) is even. // We can skip all such number by increasing value by 2*i every time. for (int value = i*i;value<n;value+=2*i){ marked[value]=true; } } int count = 1; for (int i=3;i<n;i+=2) if (!marked[i]){ count++; } return count; } }
