The program to print the sum of the first N prime numbers uses the method to find n prime numbers and then add them to find the sum. This sum is saved to an integer that outputs the sum .
The code takes a number checks it for prime, if it is prime then adds it to the sum variable. Till n prime number it does the same and then after that it prints the sum.
Example Code
#include <stdio.h> int isprime(int j) { int count=0; for(int i = 2 ; i <= j/2; i++) { if(j%i == 0) { count = 1; } } if(count == 0) { return 1; } else return 0; } int main(void) { int n = 5; int i=0, j= 1; int sum = 0; while(1) { j++; if(isprime(j)) { sum += j; i++; } if(i == n) { break; } } printf("The sum of first %d prime numbers is %d", n, sum); return 0; }
Output
The sum of the first 5 prime numbers is 28
