The wrote this program that is supposed to find a given number (n) of prime numbers, beginning with 2. I can't seem to find the issue, Im not getting any error messages, however, I am not getting the any output at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
#include<cmath>
#include<cstdlib>
#include<string>
#include<list>
#include <forward_list>
#include<vector>
#include<unordered_map>
#include<algorithm>
#include <array>
#include <regex>
#include<random>
#include<stdexcept>
using namespace std;
bool is_prime(int a);
int main()
{
cout<<"Give me the number of primes you want: \n";
int n;
cin>>n;
vector<int> primes;
int i = 2;
int count = 0;
while (n < count)
{
if (is_prime(i))
{
primes.push_back(i);
count++;
}
i++;
}
for (int i = 0; i < primes.size(); i++)
cout<<"Prime number: "<< i + 1 << "\t"<< primes[i] <<endl;
}
bool is_prime(int a)
{
if (a <= 1)
return false;
else if (a == 2)
return true;
for (int i = 2; i < a; i++)
{
if (a % i == 0)
return false;
}
return true;
};
Your bug is here:
int count = 0;
while (n < count)
What do you think happens when (n < count)
is evaluated?
Usual suggestions for prime number detections:
sqrt(a)
. 2
case) That is:
int stop = (int)sqrt(a);
for (int i = 3; i <= stop; i+=2)
{
…
a
for divisibility with the primes you have already confirmed.
