Sum of primes between given range

Question

Write the shortest code for finding the sum of primes between \$a\$ and \$b\$ (inclusive).

Input

1. \$a\$ and \$b\$ can be taken from command line or stdin (space seperated)
2. Assume \$1 \le a \le b \le 10^8\$

Output Just print the sum with a newline character.

Bonus Points

1. If the program accepts multiple ranges (print one sum on each line), you get extra points. :)

If PARI/GP solution allowed, then:

Perl, 62 chars

<>=~/\d+/;map$s+=$_*(1x$_)!~/^1$|(^11+)\1+$/,$&..$';print$s,$/

This one uses the prime number regex.

Answer 7

C#, 183 characters

using System;class P{static void Main(string[] a){long s=0,i=Math.Max(int.Parse(a[0]),2),j;for(;i<=int.Parse(a[1]);s+=i++)for(j=2;j<i;)if(i%j++==0){s-=i;break;}Console.WriteLine(s);}}

This would be much shorter if it didn't have to check for 1, or if there was a better way to... In a more readable format:

using System;
class P 
{ 
    static void Main(string[] a) 
    { 
        long s = 0,
             i = Math.Max(int.Parse(a[0]),2),
             j;

        for (; i <= int.Parse(a[1]);s+=i++)
            for (j = 2; j < i; )
                if (i % j++ == 0)
                {
                    s -= i;
                    break;
                }

        Console.WriteLine(s); 
    }
}

BASH Shell, 47 Characters

seq 1 100|factor|awk 'NF==2{s+=$2}END{print s}'

Edit: Just realized the sum overflows and is coerced as a double.

Here's a bit longer solution, but handles overflows aswell

seq 1 100|factor|awk NF==2{print\$2}|paste -sd+|bc

APL (25 characters)

+/((R≥⎕)^~R∊R∘.×R)/R←1↓⍳⎕

This is a modification of a well-known idiom (see this page for an explanation) for generating a list of primes in APL.

Example:

      +/((R≥⎕)^~R∊R∘.×R)/R←1↓⍳⎕
⎕:
      100
⎕:
      1
1060

Normal Task (Python 3): 95 chars

a,b=map(int,input().split())
r=range
print(sum(1%i*all(i%j for j in r(2,i))*i for i in r(a,b+1)))

Bonus Task (Python 3): 119 chars

L=iter(map(int,input().split()))
r=range
for a,b in zip(L,L):print(sum(1%i*all(i%j for j in r(2,i))*i for i in r(a,b+1)))

Answer 12

Pari/GP (24 characters)

s=0;forprime(i=a,b,s+=i)

Like some other solutions, this doesn't strictly meet the requirements, as a and b aren't read from stdin or the command line. I thought it was a nice alternative to the other Pari/GP and Mathematica solutions however.

Ruby 1.9, 63 chars

require'prime';p=->a,b{Prime.each(b).select{|x|x>a}.inject(:+)}

Use like this

p[1,100] #=> 1060

Using the Prime class feels like cheating, but since the Mathematica solutions used built-in prime functions...

a,b=map(int,input().split())
P=k=1
s=0
while k<=b:s+=P%k*k*(k>=a);P*=k*k;k+=1
print(s)

Uses the factorial trick with Wilson's Theorem to check whether k is prime. P%k is 1 if k is prime and 0 otherwise. If it is prime, k is added to the running sum s.

R, 85 characters

x=scan(nmax=2);sum(sapply(x[1]:x[2],function(n)if(n==2||all(n %% 2:(n-1)))n else 0))

Extremely inefficient! I'm pretty sure it takes O(n^2) time. It might give warnings about coercing a double to a logical.

Deobfuscated:

x <- scan(nmax=2)
start <- x[1]
end <- x[2]

#this function returns n if n is prime, otherwise it returns 0.
return.prime <- function(n) {
  # if n is 2, n is prime. Otherwise, if, for each number y between 2 and n, n mod y is 0, then n must be prime
  is.prime <- n==2 || all(n%% 2:(n-1))
  if (is.prime)
    n
  else
    0
} 
primes <- sapply(start:end, return.prime)
sum(primes)
