Description

Sum all the prime numbers up to and including the provided number. A prime number is defined as a number greater than one and having only two divisors, one and itself. For example, 2 is a prime number because it's only divisible by one and two. The provided number may not be a prime. Remember to use Read-Search-Ask if you get stuck. Try to pair program. Write your own code.

Solution

    var primes = [];
    if (n > 2) {
        var half = n>>1;
        var sieve = Array(half);
        for (var i = 1, limit = Math.sqrt(n)>>1; i <= limit; i++) {
            if (!sieve[i]) {
                for (var step = 2*i+1, j = (step*step)>>1; j < half; j+=step) {
                    sieve[j] = true;
                }
            }
