Don't quite understand what this beginners Java prime number lab is asking me to do, please hlep
Pseudocode Explanation of the Algorithm
Input: n = max number to examine (<= 500)
- Create an array with (n+1) elements: int [] values = new int[n + 1];
- Use a loop to fill array with 1s (1 = prime, 0 = non prime)
- Use a loop to examine elements at positions 2-n:
I understand the rest of the algorithm but I just have no clue what the second step means. Is it telling me to convert all prime numbers into 1s and all non prime numbers into 0s? How do I do that?
