primes

JS TODO

Generates primes up to a given number, using the Sieve of Eratosthenes.

Generate an array from 2 to the given number. Use Array.prototype.filter() to filter out the values divisible by any number from 2 to the square root of the provided number.

const primes = (num) => {
let arr = Array.from({ length: num - 1 }).map((x, i) => i + 2),
sqroot = Math.floor(Math.sqrt(num)),
numsTillSqroot = Array.from({ length: sqroot - 1 }).map((x, i) => i + 2);
numsTillSqroot.forEach(
(x) => (arr = arr.filter((y) => y % x !== 0 || y === x))
);
return arr;
};
primes(10); // [2,3,5,7]
