Count Primes

Count the number of prime numbers less than a non-negative number, n. Example Input: 10 Output: 4 Explanation There are 4 prime numbers less than 10, they are 2, 3, 5, 7. Solution class Solution: def countPrimes(self, n): """ :type n: int :rtype: int """ if n <= 2: return 0 marked = [0] * (n-1) for i in range(int(n**0.5)+1): if marked[i] != 1: prime = i + 2 for j in range(prime**2-2, n-1, prime): marked[j] = 1 count = 0 for c, k in enumerate(marked): # We are counting numbers less than n, hence len(marked)-1 if k == 0 and c < len(marked)-1: count += 1 return count Cleaner version
