Time and Space Complexity
- Time Complexity: The time complexity for this algorithm is O(n log log n). This makes it very efficient when dealing with large datasets.
- Space Complexity: The space requirement is O(n). This means that an array of size n+1 will be needed to hold true or false for every number until n itself included.
C Program to Implement Sieve of Eratosthenes
The Sieve of Eratosthenes is a simple and efficient algorithm for finding all prime numbers up to a specified integer. It was created by the ancient Greek mathematician Eratosthenes and is still used today due to its efficiency when dealing with large numbers.
In this article, we will learn how to implement sieve of Eratosthenes in C.
