Finding the smith number between given range

I will get to the point quickly. Basically smith numbers are: Composite number the sum of whose digits is the sum of the digits of its prime factors (excluding 1). (The primes are excluded since they trivially satisfy this condition). One example of a Smith number is the beast number 666=2·3·3·37, since 6+6+6=2+3+3+(3+7)=18.
what i've tried:
In a for loop first i get the sum of the current number's(i) digits
In same loop i try to get the sum of the number's prime factors digits.
I've made another method to check if current number that is going to proccessed in for loop is prime or not,if its prime it will be excluded
But my code is seems to not working can you guys help out?
public static void main(String[] args) {
smithInrange(1, 50);
}
public static void smithInrange(int start_val, int end_val) {
for (int i = start_val; i < end_val; i++) {
if(!isPrime(i)) { //since we banned prime numbers from this process i don't include them
int for_digit_sum = i, digit = 0, digit_sum = 0, for_factor_purpose = i, smith_sum = 0;
int first = 0, second = 0, last = 0;
// System.out.println("current number is" + i);
while (for_digit_sum > 0) { // in this while loop i get the sum of current number's digits
digit = for_digit_sum % 10;
digit_sum += digit;
for_digit_sum /= 10;
}
// System.out.println("digit sum is"+digit_sum);
while (for_factor_purpose % 2 == 0) { // i divide the current number to 2 until it became an odd number
first += 2;
for_factor_purpose /= 2;
}
// System.out.println("the first sum is " + first);
for (int j = 3; j < Math.sqrt(for_factor_purpose); j += 2) {
while (for_factor_purpose % j == 0) { // this while loop is for getting the digit sum of every prime
// factor that j has
int inner_digit = 0, inner_temp = j, inner_digit_sum = 0;
while (inner_temp > 0) {
inner_digit = inner_temp % 10;
second += inner_digit;
inner_temp /= 10;
}
// System.out.println("the second sum is " + second);
for_factor_purpose /= j;
}
}
int last_temp = for_factor_purpose, last_digit = 0, last_digit_sum = 0;
if (for_factor_purpose > 2) {
while (last_temp > 0) {
last_digit = last_temp % 10;
last += last_digit;
last_temp /= 10;
}
// System.out.println("last is " + last);
}
smith_sum = first + second + last;
// System.out.println("smith num is "+ smith_sum);
// System.out.println(smith_sum);
if (smith_sum == digit_sum) {
System.out.println("the num founded is" + i);
}
}
}
}
public static boolean isPrime(int i) {
int sqrt = (int) Math.sqrt(i) + 1;
for (int k = 2; k < sqrt; k++) {
if (i % k == 0) {
// number is perfectly divisible - no prime
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
the output is:
the num founded is4
the num founded is9
the num founded is22
the num founded is25
the num founded is27
the num founded is49
how ever the smith number between this range(1 and 50) are:
4, 22 and 27
edit:I_ve found the problem which is :
Math.sqrt(for_factor_purpose) it seems i should add 1 to it to eliminate square numbers. Thanks to you guys i've see sthe solution on other perspectives.
Keep coding!

Main loop for printing Smith numbers.
for (int i = 3; i < 10000; i++) {
if (isSmith(i)) {
System.out.println(i + " is a Smith number.");
}
}
The test method to determine if the supplied number is a Smith number. The list of primes is only increased if the last prime is smaller in magnitude than the number under test.
static boolean isSmith(int v) {
int sum = 0;
int save = v;
int lastPrime = primes.get(primes.size() - 1);
if (lastPrime < v) {
genPrimes(v);
}
outer:
for (int p : primes) {
while (save > 1) {
if (save % p != 0) {
continue outer;
}
sum += sumOfDigits(p);
save /= p;
}
break;
}
return sum == sumOfDigits(v) && !primes.contains(v);
}
Helper method to sum the digits of a number.
static int sumOfDigits(int i) {
return String.valueOf(i).chars().map(c -> c - '0').sum();
}
And the prime generator. It uses the list as it is created to determine if a given
number is a prime.
static List<Integer> primes = new ArrayList<>(List.of(2, 3));
static void genPrimes(int max) {
int next = primes.get(primes.size() - 1);
outer:
while (next <= max) {
next += 2;
for (int p : primes) {
if (next % p == 0) {
continue outer;
}
if (p * p > next) {
break;
}
}
primes.add(next);
}
}
}

I do not want to spoil the answer finding, but just some simpler code snippets,
making everything simpler, and more readable.
public boolean isSmith(int a) {
if (a < 2) return false;
int factor = findDivisor(a);
if (factor == a) return false;
int sum = digitSum(a);
// loop:
a /= factor;
sum -= digitSum(factor);
...
}
boolean isPrime(int a){
for(int i = 2; i*i <= a; i++) {
if (a % i == 0) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
int findDivisor(int a){
for(int i = 2; i*i <= a; i++) {
if (a % i == 0) {
return i;
}
}
return a;
}
int digitSum(int a) {
if (a < 10) {
return a;
}
int digit = a % 10;
int rest = a / 10;
return digit + digitSum(rest);
}
As you see integer division 23 / 10 == 2, and modulo (remainder) %: 23 % 10 == 3 can simplify things.
Instead of isPrime, finding factor(s) is more logical. In fact the best solution is not using findDivisor, but immediately find all factors
int factorsSum = 0;
int factorsCount = 0;
for(int i = 2; i*i <= a; i++) {
while (a % i == 0) {
factorsSum += digitSum(i);
a /= i;
factorsCount++;
}
}
// The remaining factor >= sqrt(original a) must be a prime.
// (It cannot contain smaller factors.)
factorsSum += digitSum(a);
factorsCount++;

Here is the code. If you need further help, please let me know. The code is pretty self explanatory and a decent bit was taken from your code but if you need me to explain it let me know.
In short, I created methods to check if a number is a smith number and then checked each int in the range.
import java.util.*;
public class MyClass {
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println(smithInRange)
}
public int factor;
public boolean smithInRange(int a, int b){
for (int i=Math.min(a,b);i<=Math.max(a,b);i++) if(isSmith(i)) return true;
return false;
}
public boolean isSmith(int a){
if(a<2) return false;
if(isPrime(a)) return false;
int digits=0;
int factors=0;
String x=a+¨" ";
for(int i=0;i<x.length()-1;i++) digits+= Integer.parseInt(x.substring(i,i+1));
ArrayList<Integer> pF = new ArrayList<Integer>();
pF.add(a);
while(!aIsPrime(pF)){
int num = pF.get(pF.size-1)
pF.remove(pF.size()-1);
pF.add(factor);
pF.add(num/factor)
}
for(int i: pF){
if((factors+"").length()==1)factors+= i;
else{
String ss= i+" ";
int nums=0;
for(int j=0;j<ss.length()-1;j++){
nums+=Integer.parseInt(ss.substring(j,j+1));
}
}
}
return (factors==digits);
}
public boolean isPrime(int a){
for(int i=2;i<=(int)Math.sqrt(a),i++){
String s = (double)a/(double)i+"";
if(s.substring(s.length()-2).equals(".0")){
return false;
factor = i;
}
}
return true;
}
public boolean aIsPrime(ArrayList<int> a){
for(int i: a) if (!isPrime(a)) return false;
return true;
}
}

Display all prime numbers based on range inputted in java

I am trying to solve a sample exercise which is to display Prime numbers based on the range inputted. For example if I inputted 10 it should output 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29.
Here is my code:
System.out.print("Enter Range: ");
int range = input.nextInt();
int r = 0;
for(int ctr1 = 2; ctr1 <= range; ctr1++){
for(int ctr2 = 1; ctr2 <= ctr1; ctr2++){
if(ctr1%ctr2 == 0){
r++;
}
}
if(r == 2){
System.out.println(ctr1);
}
}
What happens is when I input 10 it just outputs 2. Can anyone please tell me the error in my codes?
Thanks...

Using nested loop in this case could make things more complicated. I would suggest you to divide the solution into two steps:
create a function to determine if a number is prime.
private static boolean isPrime(int n) {
//check if n is a multiple of 2
if (n % 2 == 0) return false;
//if not, then just check the odds
for (int i = 3; i * i <= n; i += 2) {
if (n % i == 0)
return false;
}
return true;
}
find the first N prime numbers with a loop:
System.out.print("Enter Range: ");
int range = input.nextInt();
int count = 0;
for (int number = 2; count < range; number++) {
if (isPrime(number)) {
count++;
System.out.println(number);
}
}

I didnt understand your code. Try to give reasonable parameter names. Anyway this the code that you are looking for.
public static void main(String args[]) {
//get input till which prime number to be printed
System.out.println("Enter the amount of prime numbers to be printed: ");
int limit = new Scanner(System.in).nextInt();
int count=1;
//printing primer numbers till the limit ( 1 to 100)
System.out.println("Printing prime number from 1 to " + limit);
for(int number = 2; count<=limit; number++){
//print prime numbers only
if(isPrime(number)){
System.out.println(number);
count++;
}
}
}
/*
* Prime number is not divisible by any number other than 1 and itself
* #return true if number is prime
*/
public static boolean isPrime(int number){
for(int i=2; i<number; i++){
if(number%i == 0){
return false; //number is divisible so its not prime
}
}
return true; //number is prime now
}

One more solution)
public static boolean checkPrime(int i) {
if (i <= 1)
return false;
else if (i <= 3)
return true;
else if (i % 2 == 0 || i % 3 == 0)
return false;
int n = 5;
while (n * n <= i) {
if (i % n == 0 || i % (n + 2) == 0)
return false;
n = n + 6;
}
return true;
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
int isPrime = 0;
int counter = 0;
int size = 10;
while (isPrime < size) {
counter++;
if (checkPrime(counter)) {
isPrime++;
System.out.println(counter);
}
}
}

Optimal way to find next prime number (Java)

I was asked to write a program to find next prime number in an optimal way. I wrote this code, but I could not find an optimal answer to it. Any suggestions?
public static int nextPrime(int input) {
input++;
//now find if the number is prime or not
for(int i=2;i<input;i++) {
if(input % i ==0 ) {
input++;
i=2;
}
else{
continue;
}
}
return input;
}

public int nextPrime(int input){
int counter;
input++;
while(true){
int l = (int) sqrt(input);
counter = 0;
for(int i = 2; i <= l; i ++){
if(input % i == 0) counter++;
}
if(counter == 0)
return input;
else{
input++;
continue;
}
}
}
There is no need to check up on input number. It is enough to check up to the square root of a number. Sorry, I didn't remember the theorem name. Here we are incrementing the input for next prime.
The time complexity of this solution O(n^(3/2)).

#Ephraim - I've replaced the recursive code with "while" loop. It's running more faster.
int nextPrime(int M) {
while(!isPrime(++M))
// no need ++M; as I already added in the isPrime method's parameter.
return M;
}
boolean isPrime(int M) {
for(int i = 2; i <= M; i++)
if(M % i == 0)
return false;
return true;
}
#Scott Parent- I've tested the the recursive code; "while" loop and steam code (IntStream and LongStream) - the Stream's code is running slowly, very slowly.
Example:
Input value: 60000000000
Output: 60000000029
Elapsed time for recursive algorithm = 7 milliseconds
Output: 60000000029
Elapsed time for traversal algorithm = 4 milliseconds
Output: 60000000029
Elapsed time for LongStream.range(2, number).noneMatch(...) algorithm = 615825 milliseconds
If I use IntStream - the elapsed time is about 230 milliseconds for the max Integer number. It's too much slowly. The "while" loop in nextPrime(int n) is running 1-4 milliseconds for the max integer number, but usage of LongStream for 600000000000 input value - the result I couldnt see in 1 hour.
I'm running now for the 600000000000 long number:
Elapsed time for recursive algorithm = 36 milliseconds
Output: 60000000029
Elapsed time for traversal algorithm = 27 milliseconds
Output: 60000000029
Elapsed time for LongStream.range(2, number).noneMatch(...)
it's still running more than 58 minutes, but it's not finished yet.

long n = 12345;
BigInteger b = new BigInteger(String.valueOf(n));
long res = Long.parseLong(b.nextProbablePrime().toString());
System.out.println("Next prime no. is "+ res);

Generate all prime numbers up to your limit using sieve of eratosthenes. And then input your number n and search if n> prime[i] , prime[i] is the answer.

You can also do the same using recursions like this:
int nextPrime(int M) {
if(!isPrime(M)) M = nextPrime(++M);
return M;
}
boolean isPrime(int M) {
for(int i = 2; i <= Math.sqrt(M); i++)
if(M % i == 0) return false;
return true;
}

My son has written his own algorithm - in one method.
But it's written on python - you can find it here.
On Java it looks like:
static long nextPrime(long number) {
boolean prime = false;
long n = number;
while (!prime && n < number * 2) {
n++;
prime = true;
for (int i = 2; i < n; i++) {
if (n % i == 0) {
prime = false;
break;
}
}
}
return n;
}

Here I add a solution algorithm. First of all, the while loop grabs the next number to be tested within the range of number + 1 to number * 2. Then the number is sent to the isPrime method (which uses Java 8 streams) that iterates the stream to look for numbers that have no other factors.
private static int nextPrime(final int number) {
int i = number + 1;
while (!isPrime(i) && i < number * 2)
i++;
return i;
}
private static boolean isPrime(final int number) {
return number > 1 && IntStream.range(2, number).noneMatch(index -> number % index == 0);
}

Dude check this code.
isPrime() in the while loop checks for the next prime number after incrementing the current prime/non-prime number. I did used the long datatype (that's what I got as assignment).
if (isPrime(num)) {
System.out.println("Current Prime number: " + num);
} else {
long a = getNextPrime(num);
System.out.println("Next Prime:" + a);
}
public static long getNextPrime(long num) {
long nextPrime = 0;
while (true) {
num++;
boolean x = isPrime(num);
if (x) {
nextPrime = num;
break;
}
}
return nextPrime;
}
public static boolean isPrime(long num) {
if (num == 0 || num == 1) {
return false;
}
for (long i = 2; i <= num / 2; ++i) {
if (num % i == 0) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}

This is functional way of finding next prime number.
public void printFirstNPrimes(long n) {
Stream.iterate(2, i->nextPrime(i))
.limit(n).forEach(System.out::println);
}
public static boolean isPrime(long x) {
return Stream.iterate(2, i->i+1)
.limit((long)(Math.sqrt(x)))
.allMatch(n -> x % n != 0);
}
public static int nextPrime(int x) {
return isPrime(x+1)? x+1 : nextPrime(x+1);
}

So, I was reading the first answer and saw some potential upgrades.
I made them and got a really significant improvement.
The original code could calculate 200000 prime numbers in 22.32s
With a little changes I managed to execute the same operation in 11.41s, with the same results.
Notice I executed the code on my laptop #2.50 GHz, running on IntelIJ.
public static int nextPrime(int n) {
boolean isPrime;
n++;
while (true) {
int sqrt = (int) Math.sqrt(n);
isprime = true;
for (int i = 2; i <= sqrt; i++) {
if (n % i == 0) isPrime = false;
}
if (isPrime)
return n;
else {
n++;
}
}
}
Hope you like it!

public class ClosestPrimeNumber {
static boolean isPrime(int n) {
for (int x = 2; x <= Math.sqrt(n); x++) {
if (n % x ==0) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
static int next_forward = 0;
static int next_backward = 0;
static int next = 0;
static int closestPrimeNumberForward(int n) {
if (isPrime(n)) {
next_forward = n;
return next_forward;
}else {
next_forward = n+1;
closestPrimeNumberForward(next_forward);
}
return next_forward;
}
static int closestPrimeNumberBackward(int n) {
if (isPrime(n)) {
next_backward = n;
return next_backward;
}else {
next_backward = n-1;
closestPrimeNumberBackward(next_backward);
}
return next_backward;
}
static int closestCompare(int forward, int backward, int num) {
return (Math.abs(num-backward) > Math.abs(num-forward) ) ? forward : backward;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
int valor = 102;
System.out.println(closestCompare(closestPrimeNumberForward(valor), closestPrimeNumberBackward(valor), valor));
}
}

public int nextPrime(int input){
int counter;
while(true){
counter = 0;
for(int i = 1; i <= input; i ++){
if(input % i == 0) counter++;
}
if(counter == 2)
return input;
else{
input++;
continue;
}
}
}
This will return the nextPrime but cannot say is most optimal way
It is simple as it execute an infinite while loop which break when
prime number is returned.
In while is finds whether the number is prime or not
If it is prime it returns that number, if not it increment input and continue the while loop

Error in calculating sum of even place digits and odd place digits in java

In our directions, we have to get a 16 digit number, then sum all the digits in the odd place from right to left. After that, we have to sum all the even place digits from right to left, double the sum, then take module 9. When I try to run my code, I keep getting "Invalid", even if it is with a valid credit card number.
public static boolean validateCreditCard(long number) {
double cardSum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
long cardnumber = (long) Math.pow(10, i);
double oddPlaceSum = 0;
double evenPlaceSum = 0;
if (i % 2 != 0) {
oddPlaceSum += ((int)(number % cardnumber / (Math.pow(10, i))));
} else { // so if i%2 ==0
evenPlaceSum += ((int)(number % cardnumber / (Math.pow(10, i)) * 2 % 9));
}
cardSum += evenPlaceSum + oddPlaceSum;
}
if (cardSum % 10 == 0) {
return true;
System.out.println("Valid");
} else {
return false;
System.out.println("Invalid");
}
}

Try this instead :
Convert the 16 digit number into a String using Long.toString(number).
Iterate through the String character by character and keep track of even and odd indexes.
Convert each char to an Integer using Integer.valueOf() thereby adding them incrementally.
Voila, you got your evenSum and oddSum. Next steps should be trivial.
public static boolean validateCreditCard(long number){
String x = Long.toString(number);
int evenSum = 0;
int oddSum = 0;
for(int i=0; i<x.length; i=i+2) {
oddSum += Integer.valueOf(s[i]);
evenSum += Integer.valueOf(s[i+1]);
}
//Do the next steps with odd and even sums.
Also, do handle IndexOutOfBoundsException as appropriate.

You can do it in a single while loop as digits are fixed, like this:
int digit,evensum,oddsum;
int i=16;
while(i > 0){
digit=number%10;
if(i%2 == 0)
evensum+=digit;
else
oddsum+=digit;
i--;
digit/=10;
}

Try this instead
using Recusion find sum of even placed of digit and sum of odd placed of digit.
class Recursion {
static int count = 0;
static int even =0;
static int odd =0;
public static int Digits(int num) {
if (num > 0) {
count++;
if(count%2 == 0){
even += num%10;
}
else{
odd += num%10;
}
Digits(num / 10);
}
return even;
// for odd
// return odd;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
int num = 31593;
int res = Digits(num);
System.out.println("Total digits are: " + res);
}
}
Help me How to print both even and odd sum together?

How to factor a number and determine whether its a prime number

So i have this problem where when i factor a number, lets say 15, i have to display this: 15=3x5 but instead what i get is 3x5x5 and i have no clue of how to make it that so it only displays 3x5. And then another problem i have is to find whether the number i inputted is a prime number or not. Any way of fixing this? I just need that and the other stuff im gonna edit after that.
public class PrimeFactor
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner input= new Scanner(System.in);
int a;
int d;
int remainder=0;
int count=2;
int c=0;
String s;
System.out.println("Enter an integer to be factored:");
a=input.nextInt();
s="";
d=a;
while(a>1)
{
if(a>1)
{
s="";
while(a>1)
{
remainder=a%count;
if (!(remainder>0))
while(remainder==0)
{
remainder=a%count;
if (remainder==0)
{
a=a/count;
c=c+1;
s=s+count+"x";
if (a==1)
s=s+count;
}
else
count++;
}
else
count++;
}
if (a%count==0)
{
System.out.println(d +"=" + s);
System.out.println(d+" is a prime number.");
}
else
System.out.println(d +"=" + s);
}
// TODO code application logic here
}
}
}

This determines if the number is prime or not the quickest way. Another method would be to use a for loop to determine the number of factors for the number and then say it's prime if it has more than two factors.
int num; // is the number being tested for if it's prime.
boolean isPrime = true;
for (int i = 2; i <= Math.sqrt(num); i++) // only have to test until the square root of the number
{
if (num%i == 0) // if the number is divisible by anything from 2 - the square root of the number
{
isPrime = false; // it is not prime
break; // break out of the loop because it's not prime and no more testing needed
}
}
if (isPrime)
{
System.out.println(num + " is a prime number.");
}
else
{
System.out.println(num + " is a composite number.");
}

You are not constructing the factorization string quite right:
When you find that 3 divides a=15 you set s to 3x and set a to the quotient, so a=5
When you find that 5 divides a=5 you append 5x to s, so now s is 3x5x. Then you set a to the quotient, which is 1. Since the quotient is now 1, you append 5 again, so now you get 3x5x5.
What you'll want to do is append only 5 when a=1, not 5x5. You have to change this:
s=s+count+"x";
if (a==1)
s=s+count;
to this:
if (a==1) {
s=s+count;
} else {
s=s+count+"x";
}

How about trying like this:-
for(int i = input-1; i > 0; i--) {
if((input % i) == 0) {
if(i == 1)
System.out.println("Number is a prime");
else
System.out.println("Number is not a prime");
break;
}
}

These are quite straight-forward methods you can use to factor a number and determine if it is a prime number:
public static int oneFactor(int i) {
for (int j = 2; j < i; j++) {
if (i % j == 0)
return j;
}
return -1;
}
public static Integer[] primeFactors(int i) {
List<Integer> factors = new ArrayList<Integer>();
boolean cont = true;
while (cont) {
int f = oneFactor(i);
if (i > 1 && f != -1) {
i /= f;
factors.add(f);
} else
factors.add(i);
if (f == -1)
cont = false;
}
return factors.toArray(new Integer[factors.size()]);
}
public static boolean isPrime(int i) {

I am sure one can use faster algorithms, but those would be at the cost of simplicity, and it doesn't seem like you need high speed methods.
They all operate on ints, but its easy to change them to work with longs.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

You want to write a loop which loops through numbers 1 to (Inputted Number). And if you found a factor, you print it and divide the input by the factor. (And test if it can be divided again by the same number), else then skip to the next number.
Keep doing this until your input divides down to 1.
This program will break the number down to prime factors:
public class Factor {
public static void main() {
//Declares Variables
int factor = 15;
int i = 2;
System.out.println("Listing Factors:\n");
while (factor>1) {
//Tests if 'i' is a factor of 'factor'
if (factor%i == 0) {
//Prints out and divides factor
System.out.println(i);
factor = factor/i;
} else {
//Skips to next Number
i++;
}
}
}
}
Output:
Listing Factors:
3
5
