## Problem 10: Summation of primes
|
||||
|
||||
This is a stub. <a href='https://github.com/freecodecamp/guides/tree/master/src/pages/certifications/coding-interview-prep/project-euler/problem-10-summation-of-primes/index.md' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Help our community expand it</a>.
|
||||
### Method:
|
||||
- In this challenge we need to find sum of all prime numbers up to `n`.
|
||||
- Example:
|
||||
- If `n = 10` then prime numbers before it are `2, 3, 5, 7` and their sum is `17`.
|
||||
- We've used Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm to find prime numbers in the below solution.

### Solution:
|
||||
```js
|
||||
function primeSummation(n) {
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
// Initializing the array and sum which hold all prime numbers and the total sum, respectively
|
||||
let nums = []
|
||||
let sum = 0;
|
||||
|
||||
// Upperbound of `n`
|
||||
const upperBound = Math.ceil(Math.sqrt(n));
|
||||
|
||||
// Making an array of `n` numbers
|
||||
for (let i = 0; i < n; i++){
|
||||
nums.push(i);
|
||||
}
|
||||
nums[1] = 0;
|
||||
|
||||
// Looping until the upperbound
|
||||
for (let i = 2; i <= upperBound; i++){
|
||||
|
||||
// Skipping if the number is already 0
|
||||
if (nums[i] !== 0){
|
||||
|
||||
// Explcitly marking all multiples of `i` 0
|
||||
for (let j = i*i; j < n; j += i){
|
||||
if (nums[j] % i == 0) {
|
||||
nums[j] = 0;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Sum and return all values in the array up to `n`
|
||||
for (let i = 0; i < n; i++){
|
||||
sum += nums[i];
|
||||
}
|
||||
return sum;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
