Question

Write a program that prompts the user to enter two positive integers less than 1,000,000,000 and the program outputs the sum of all the prime numbers between the two integers. Two prime numbers are called twin primes, if the difference between the two primes is 2 or -2. Have the program output all the twin primes and the number of twin primes between the two integers.

Answer 1

Answer:

In Python:

low = int(input("Low: "))

high = int(input("High: "))

if low >= 1000000000 or high >=1000000000:

   print("Out of range")

else:

   mylist = []

   for num in range(low,high+1):

       flag = False

       if num > 1:

           for i in range(2, num):

               if (num % i) == 0:

                   flag = True

                   break

       if not flag:

           mylist.append(num)

           print(num, end = " ")

   print()

   print("The twin primes are: ",end="")

   count = 0

   for i in range(1,len(mylist)):

       if mylist[i] - mylist[i-1] == 2:

           print(str(mylist[i])+" & "+str(mylist[i-1]),end=", ")

           count+=1

   print()

   print("There are "+str(count)+" twin primes")
