need help with prime
Thread Solved
![]() |
hi,
I was trying to implement the sieve of eroathoses (I know I spelt this wrong) and it works. But i was trying to find all prime under 2 million.
The .cmd for visual studio just corrupts if I try to find all prime under 2million. I am guessing It's because overflow or something but I don't know for sure.
can you give me some hints on how to fix my code so the program won't corrupt. here is the code:
thanks

thanks

ur using 32 bit compiler rit...
see this...
see this...
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
__int64 arry[201]; // in 32 bit compiler will be int arry[201]; // maks array size = 65535 __int64 arry[2000000]; // ?????

I mean that when i try to find the all prime numbers below 2 million,
the program corrupts, but if i try to find all prime number below say 2000, it works perfectly. Try the program to see what i mean.
I don't get why it does not work for a large number.

Static memory space is generally very limited, if you want to create large array sizes then you need to use dynamic memory. But be sure to delete the array afterwards

__int64 *array = new __int64[2000000];

delete []array; array = NULL; // to make sure you do not use the pointer
