Problem description, from Project Euler

Find the sum of all the primes below N.

Solution

Brute-forced it again, but it still runs in less than 30 seconds (at least on my MacBook Pro). This one was simple using the Sieve of Eratosthenes from problem 7.

The sieve, collapsed because it’s the same as from problem 7:

; a
; //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Eratosthenes
;1. Create a list of consecutive integers from two to n: (2, 3, 4, ..., n),
;2. Initially, let p equal 2, the first prime number,
;3. While enumerating all multiples of p starting from p2, strike them off from the original list,
;4. Find the first number remaining on the list after p (it's the next prime); let p equal this number,
;5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until p2 is greater than n.
;6. All the remaining numbers in the list are prime.
; returns a lazy-sequence of the multiples of n
