C++ Exercises: List non-prime numbers from 1 to an upperbound

Sample Solution :-

C++ Code :

#include <iostream> // Include input-output stream header
#include <cmath>    // Include math functions header

using namespace std; // Using standard namespace to avoid writing std::

int main() // Start of the main function
{
    int ult; // Declaration of variable 'ult' to store the upper limit
    cout << "\n\n List non-prime numbers from 1 to an upperbound:\n"; // Display message on the console
    cout << "----------------------------------------------------\n";
    cout << " Input the upperlimit: "; // Prompt the user to input the upper limit
    cin >> ult; // Read the input value as the upper limit

    cout << " The non-prime numbers are: " << endl; // Display message for non-prime numbers

    // Loop through numbers from 2 to the upper limit to check for non-prime numbers
    for (int num = 2; num <= ult; ++num) 
    {
        int mfactor = (int)sqrt(num); // Find the square root of the number and cast it to an integer as the maximum factor to check

        // Loop to check for factors of the current number from 2 to its square root
        for (int fact = 2; fact <= mfactor; ++fact) 
        {
            // If the current number is divisible by 'fact', it's not a prime number
            if (num % fact == 0) 
            {
                cout << num << " "; // Display the non-prime number
                break; // Break the loop to move to the next number
            }
        }
    }
    cout << endl; // Output a newline
    return 0; // Indicates successful termination of the program
}	

Sample Output:

 List non-prime numbers from 1 to an upperbound:                       
----------------------------------------------------                   
 Input the upperlimit: 25                                              
 The non-prime numbers are:                                            
4 6 8 9 10 12 14 15 16 18 20 21 22 24 25
