In math, a prime number is a number only divisible by 1 and itself. Given the first few prime numbers 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 ...
What is the sum of the first 250 prime numbers
public class Primenumbersum {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Integer val;
Integer sum=0;
Integer prnum=2;
int cycle=1;
while(cycle<251){
if(isPrime(prnum)){
sum+=prnum;
cycle++;
}
prnum++;
}
System.out.println("Sum: "+(int)sum);
}
//Determine whether a number is prime by doing a check
public static boolean isPrime(int num){
for(int i=2; i<num;i++){
if (num%i==0||num==1){
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
}
