Given a number N, the task is to find the Prime Numbers from 1 to N using Command Line Arguments.
Examples:
Input: N = 7
Output: 2, 3, 5, 7
Input: N = 13
Output: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13
Approach:
- Since the number is entered as Command line Argument, there is no need for a dedicated input line
- Extract the input number from the command line argument
- This extracted number will be in String type.
- Convert this number into integer type and store it in a variable, say N
- Now loop through the numbers from 2 to N, using a variable say i, to check if they are prime or not. This is done as follows:
In each iteration,
- Check if any numbers from 2 to (i/2+1) divide i completely (i.e. if it is a factor of i).
- If yes, then i is not a prime number. Hence check for next number
- If no, then i is a prime number. Hence print the value of i and check for next number
- After the loop has ended, the prime numbers from 1 to N are printed on the screen.
Note: Please note that 1 is not checked in this scenarios because 1 is neither prime nor composite.
