- Prime numbers can also be generated by an algorithm known as the Sieve of Eratosthenes . The algorithm for this procedure is presented here. Write a program that implements this algorithm so as to find all prime numbers up to n = 150. Sieve of Eratosthenes Algorithm To Display All Prime Numbers Between 1 and n Step 1: Define an array of integers P . Set all elements P i to 0, 2 <= i <= n. Step 2: Set i to 2. Step 3: If i > n , the algorithm terminates. Step 4: If P i is 0 (value i is a prime number), then i is prime and display its value. Step 5: For all positive integer values of j , such that i * j ≤ n , set P i ∗ j to 1 (non - prime). Step 6: Add 1 to i and go to step 3arrow_forwardin java ecplise . Implement a program that randomly generates 10 integers from -100 to 100,stores them in a 1D array, and finds their maximum value. Calculate theexecution time of finding a maximum. Repeat the test for 10,000 and10,000,000 numbers. Provide your results in the form of a table below andprovide a small summary. Implement a Java program that will populate a 5x5 matrix with randomlygenerated integers from 0 to 100.(1) print your matrix in a table form.(2) modify your code to multiply all even numbers by 10 and print the matrix.Your output of questions (1) and (2) should match the format of the followingsample outputs:arrow_forwardThe algorithm below searches for the maximum in an input array A. Assume A is a random sequence containing n distinguishable real numbers, what is the probability for line #4 to be executed exactly once? (The phrase "random sequence" here means the n numbers can appear in any order with equal chance.) mymax(A, n) { 1: max = A[1]; 2: for i = 2:n 3: if A[i] > max 4: max = A[i); 5: end; 6: end; 7: return max; }arrow_forward
- A majority element is an element that makes up more than half of the items inan array. Given a positive integers array, find the majority element. If there is no majority element,return -1. Do this in O(N) time and 0(1) space.Input: 1 2 5 9 5 9 5 5 5Output: 5arrow_forward15. Consider the problem of finding the first position in which an array b occurs as a subsequence of an array a. Write two nested loops: let result undefined for (let i = 0; i < a.length - b.length; i++) { for (let j = 0; j < b.length; j++) { if (a[i+j] = b[j]) . . . } } Complete with labeled break and continue statements.arrow_forwardan array of integers nums sorted in ascending order, find the startingand ending position of a given target value.
