Java program to display prime numbers from 1 to 100 and 1 to n

The number which is only divisible by itself and 1 is known as prime number. For example 2, 3, 5, 7…are prime numbers. Here we will see two programs: 1) First program will print the prime numbers between 1 and 100 2) Second program takes the value of n (entered by user) and prints the prime numbers between 1 and n. 

Program to display the prime numbers from 1 to 100

It will display the prime numbers between 1 and 100.

class PrimeNumbers
{
   public static void main (String[] args)
   {		
       int i =0;
       int num =0;
       //Empty String
       String  primeNumbers = "";

       for (i = 1; i <= 100; i++)         
       { 		  	  
          int counter=0; 	  
          for(num =i; num>=1; num--)
	  {
             if(i%num==0)
	     {
 		counter = counter + 1;
	     }
	  }
	  if (counter ==2)
	  {
	     //Appended the Prime number to the String
	     primeNumbers = primeNumbers + i + " ";
	  }	
       }	
       System.out.println("Prime numbers from 1 to 100 are :");
       System.out.println(primeNumbers);
   }
}

Output:

Prime numbers from 1 to 100 are :
2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97

Program to display prime numbers from 1 to n

It will display all the prime numbers between 1 and n (n is the number, entered by user).

import java.util.Scanner;
class PrimeNumbers2
{
   public static void main (String[] args)
   {		
      Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
      int i =0;
      int num =0;
      //Empty String
      String  primeNumbers = "";
      System.out.println("Enter the value of n:");
      int n = scanner.nextInt();
      scanner.close();
      for (i = 1; i <= n; i++)  	   
      { 		 		  
         int counter=0; 		  
         for(num =i; num>=1; num--)
         {
	    if(i%num==0)
	    {
		counter = counter + 1;
	    }
	 }
	 if (counter ==2)
	 {
	    //Appended the Prime number to the String
	    primeNumbers = primeNumbers + i + " ";
	 }	
      }	
      System.out.println("Prime numbers from 1 to n are :");
      System.out.println(primeNumbers);
   }
}

Output:

Enter the value of n:
150
Prime numbers from 1 to n are :
2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 
97 101 103 107 109 113 127 131 137 139 149
