In Ruby you got a module for it (require 'prime') but otherwise I think something like this would work (in Kotlin): fun main(unicorn: Array<String>) { print((2..readLine()!!.toInt()).map{it.toInt()}.filter{it.prime()}) } fun Int.prime()={ var b=true if(this==1){ b=false }else{ for(i in 2..this/2){ if(this%i==0 && this!=2) b=false } } b }() Otherwise you have (in Ruby): require 'prime' print (2..n=gets.to_i).to_a.select{|i| Prime.prime?(i)} Of course you can "translate" the Kotlin part in every other programming language

My js func: ( speed: O(n^2) ) function isPrime(n) { if(n == 1) { return true; } else { var divSum = 0; for(var i=1; i<=n; i++) { if(n%i == 0) { divSum += i; } } return (divSum == n+1)? true : false; } }

hello Anubhav Singh, if you remove second print command you can check more numbers and get print statement of prime numbers.

if we can write a program that checks with prime numbers only upto √n +1 that saves time& energy.

I don't know what you mean. I think we can check whether a number is prime or not with some afford. But what the next prime isn't easy.

import java.util.Scanner; public class primeeasy { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter the number"); int input=sc.nextInt(); int count=0; for(int i=1;i<=10;i++){ if(input%i==0){ count++; } } if(count==2){ System.out.println("given number is prime number"); } else{ System.out.println("given number is not prime number"); } } }

Hmm. I would do it with Modern C++ compile time constants (constexpr). Best efficiency for runtime. :D

The sieve of Erathostenes is a famous algorithm to compute the prime numbers less than a given one but you wanted to know THE BEST WAY to achieve this... Well... who has the answer?

hi, you can drop check all even numbers this will reduce number of iterrution to (√n)/2
