Description:

Count the number of prime numbers less than a non-negative number, n.

Special thanks to @mithmatt for adding this problem and creating all test cases.

Hint:

1. Let's start with a isPrime function. To determine if a number is prime, we need to check if it is not divisible by any number less than n. The runtime complexity of isPrime function would be O(n) and hence counting the total prime numbers up to n would be O(n²). Could we do better?

解题思路：求小于n的所有素数的个数。这题对时间效率要求较高，一般O(n^2)的方法不能用，用布尔数组来筛掉不符合条件的数字，该数字就不再进入下一层循环进行判断了。

public class Solution {
    public int countPrimes(int n) {
        boolean[] vis= new boolean[n];
        Arrays.fill(vis,false);
        int cnt=0;
        for(int i=2;i<n;i++){
            if(vis[i]==false){
                cnt++;
                for(int j=2;j*i<n;j++){
                    vis[i*j]=true;              
                }
            }
        }
        return cnt;
    }
}
