C Program for Consecutive Prime Sum Problem

Consecutive Prime Sum Problem Solution in C

Consecutive Prime Sum is one of the challenging problem which was asked in the sample questions of TCS CodeVita 2020 Season 9 edition. TCS CodeVita is one of the toughest coding competition throughout the world. Last year there were more than 2 lakhs coders who participated in this contest, and only 25 coders reached the grand finale round. Here you will find the solution of Consecutive Prime Sum problem in C programming Language

Problem Description

Question – :  Some prime numbers can be expressed as a sum of other consecutive prime numbers.

  • For example
    • 5 = 2 + 3,
    • 17 = 2 + 3 + 5 + 7,
    • 41 = 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13.
      Your task is to find out how many prime numbers which satisfy this property are present in the range 3 to N subject to a constraint that summation should always start with number 2.

Write code to find out the number of prime numbers that satisfy the above-mentioned property in a given range.

Input Format: First line contains a number N

Output Format: Print the total number of all such prime numbers which are less than or equal to N.

Constraints: 2<N<=12,000,000,000

S.no Input Output Comment
1 20 2 (Below 20 there are two such members; 5 and 17) 5=2+3 17=2+3+65+7
2 15 1

C Code for Consecutive Prime Sum Problem

#include  <stdio.h>
int prime(int b);
int main()
{
 int i,j,n,cnt,a[25],c,sum=0,count=0,k=0;
 printf("Enter a number : ");
 scanf("%d",&n);
 for(i=2;i<=n;i++)
 {
 	cnt=1;
 	for(j=2;j<=n/2;j++)
 	{
     	if(i%j==0)
     	cnt=0;
 	}
 	if(cnt==1)
 	{
    	a[k]=i;
    	k++;
    	}
 }
 for(i=0;i<k;i++)
 {
 	sum=sum+a[i];
	c= prime(sum);
	if(c==1)
	count++;
 }
 printf(" %d",count);
 return 0;
}

int prime(int b)
{
	int j,cnt;
	cnt=1;
 	for(j=2;j<=b/2;j++)
 	{
     	if(b%j==0)
     	cnt=0;
 	}
 	if(cnt==0)
 	return 1;
 	else
 	return 0;
}
Output
Enter a number : 43
4

    correct method in c language
    #include
    int i,j,k,x,y,z,a,b,c,sum=0,flag,flag1,n;
    int main()
    {
    printf(“enter the number”);
    scanf(“%d”,&n);
    for(j=3;j<=n;j++)
    {
    for(i=2;i<=j/2;i++)
    {
    if(j%i==0)
    {
    flag=1;
    break;
    }
    }
    if(flag==0)
    {
    sum=sum+j;
    // printf("the number is %d\n",sum);
    }
    flag=0;
    if(a!=sum)
    {
    for(k=2;k<(sum+2);k++)
    {
    if((sum+2)%k==0)
    {
    flag1=1;
    break;
    }
    }

    if(flag1==0&&sum<n)
    {
    printf("the prime of sum of prime number is %d\n",sum+2);
    b++;
    }
    flag1=0;
    a=sum;
    }

    }
    printf("the no of sum of prime number is prime possible are %d\n",b);
    return 0;
    }

    Here count will increase for 2+3+5=10 not a prime, then how could we consider this for the count for sum of prime…can anyone plz explain it 🤯🤕??
    for(i=0;i<k;i++)
    {
    sum=sum+a[i];
    c= prime(sum);
    if(c==1)
    count++;
    }
    printf(" %d",count);
    return 0;
    }

    int prime(int b)
    {
    int j,cnt;
    cnt=1;
    for(j=2;j<=b/2;j++)
    {
    if(b%j==0)
    cnt=0;
    }
    if(cnt==0)
    return 1;
    else
    return 0;
    }
