Given an integer n, return the number of prime numbers that are strictly less than n.
The problem is to determine how many prime numbers exist that are strictly less than a given integer
𝑛
Describe the solution you'd like.
To solve this problem efficiently, we can use the Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm
To solve this problem efficiently, we can use the Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm. This algorithm involves creating a boolean array where each index represents whether the number corresponding to that index is prime. We start by initializing all entries to true (indicating that all numbers are potential primes), except for indices 0 and 1, which are not prime. We then iterate through the array, starting from the first prime number (2). For each prime number found, we mark all of its multiples as not prime. Finally, we count the number of true values remaining in the array, which will give us the total number of primes less than n
