Count of Double Prime numbers in a given range L to R

Given two integers L and R, the task to find the number of Double Prime numbers in the range.

A number N is called double prime when the count of prime numbers in the range 1 to N (excluding 1 and including N) is also prime.

Examples:

Input: L = 3, R = 10
Output: 4
Explanation:
For 3, we have the range 1, 2, 3, and count of prime number is 2 (which is also a prime no.)
For 4, we have the range 1, 2, 3, 4, and count of a prime number is 2 (which is also a prime no.)
For 5, we have the range 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and count of a prime number is 3 (which is also a prime no.)
For 6, we have the range 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and count of prime numbers is 3 (which is also a prime no.)
For 7, we have the range 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and count of prime numbers is 4 which is nonprime.
Similarly for other numbers till R = 10, the count of prime numbers is nonprime. Hence the count of double prime numbers is 4.

Input: L = 4, R = 12
Output: 5
Explanation:
For the given range there are total 5 double prime numbers.



Approach:

To solve the problem mentioned above we will use the concept of Sieve to generate prime numbers.

  • Generate all prime numbers for 0 to 106 and store in an array.
  • Initialize a variable count to keep a track of prime numbers from 1 to some ith position.
  • Then for every prime number we will increment the count and also set dp[count] = 1 (where dp is the array which stores a double prime number) indicating the number of numbers from 1 to some ith position that are prime.
  • Lastly, find the cumulative sum of dp array so the answer will be dp[R] – dp[L – 1].

Below is the implementation of the above approach:
