Given an integer N, the task is to print all the semi-prime numbers ? N.
A semi-prime number is an integer that can be expressed as a product of two distinct prime numbers. 
For example, 15 = 3 * 5 is a semi-prime number but 9 = 3 * 3 is not.

Examples: 

Input: N = 20 
Output: 6 10 14 15

Input: N = 50 
Output: 6 10 14 15 21 22 26 33 34 35 38 39 46 

Prerequisites:  

Approach: For every number < N, count the number of prime factors it has. If the number of prime factors is 2 then the number is a semi-prime number as all the semi-prime numbers have only 2 prime factors.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:  

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to create Sieve for Semi Prime Numbers
vector<int> createSemiPrimeSieve(int n)
{
    int v[n + 1];
 
    // This array will initially store the indexes
    // After performing below operations if any
    // element of array becomes 1 this means
    // that the given index is a semi-prime number
 
    // Storing indices in each element of vector
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
        v[i] = i;
 
    int countDivision[n + 1];
 
    for (int i = 0; i < n + 1; i++)
        countDivision[i] = 2;
 
    // This array will initially be initialized by 2 and
    // will just count the divisions of a number
    // As a semiprime number has only 2 prime factors
    // which means after dividing by the 2 prime numbers
    // if the index countDivision[x] = 0 and v[x] = 1
    // this means that x is a semiprime number
 
    // If number a is prime then its
    // countDivision[a] = 2 and v[a] = a
 
    for (int i = 2; i <= n; i++) {
 
        // If v[i] != i this means that it is
        // not a prime number as it contains
        // a divisor which has already divided it
        // same reason if countDivision[i] != 2
 
        if (v[i] == i && countDivision[i] == 2) {
 
            // j goes for each factor of i
            for (int j = 2 * i; j <= n; j += i) {
                if (countDivision[j] > 0) {
 
                    // Dividing the number by i
                    // and storing the dividend
                    v[j] = v[j] / i;
 
                    // Decreasing the countDivision
                    countDivision[j]--;
                }
            }
        }
    }
 
    // A new vector to store all Semi Primes
    vector<int> res;
 
    for (int i = 2; i <= n; i++) {
 
        // If a number becomes one and
        // its countDivision becomes 0
        // it means the number has
        // two prime divisors
        if (v[i] == 1 && countDivision[i] == 0)
            res.push_back(i);
    }
 
    return res;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 16;
    vector<int> semiPrime = createSemiPrimeSieve(n);
 
    // Print all semi-primes
    for (int i = 0; i < semiPrime.size(); i++)
        cout << semiPrime[i] << " ";
 
    return 0;
}
