Given an integer N, the task is to represent N as the sum of two composite integers. There can be multiple ways possible, print any one of them. If it is not possible to represent the number as the sum of two composite numbers then print -1.
Examples: 
 

Input: N = 13 
Output: 4 9 
4 + 9 = 13 and both 4 and 9 are composite.
Input: N = 18 
Output: 4 14 
 

 

Approach: When N ? 11 then only 8 and 10 are the integers which can be represented as the sum of two composite integers i.e. 4 + 4 and 4 + 6 respectively. 
When N > 11 then there are two cases: 
 

  1. When N is even: N can be represented as 4 + (N – 4) since both are composite.
  2. When N is odd: N can be represented as 9 + (N – 9).

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find two composite
// numbers which when added
// give sum as n
void findNums(int n)
{
 
    // Only 8 and 10 can be represented
    // as the sum of two composite integers
    if (n <= 11) {
        if (n == 8)
            cout << "4 4";
        if (n == 10)
            cout << "4 6";
        else
            cout << "-1";
        return;
    }
 
    // If n is even
    if (n % 2 == 0)
        cout << "4 " << (n - 4);
 
    // If n is odd
    else
        cout << "9 " << (n - 9);
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 13;
 
    findNums(n);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the approach
class GFG
{
     
// Function to find two composite
// numbers which when added
// give sum as n
static void findNums(int n)
{
 
    // Only 8 and 10 can be represented
    // as the sum of two composite integers
    if (n <= 11)
    {
        if (n == 8)
            System.out.print("4 4");
        if (n == 10)
            System.out.print("4 6");
        else
            System.out.print("-1");
        return;
    }
 
    // If n is even
    if (n % 2 == 0)
        System.out.print("4 " + (n - 4));
 
    // If n is odd
    else
        System.out.print("9 " + (n - 9));
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String args[])
{
    int n = 13;
 
    findNums(n);
}
}

            print("4 6", end = " ")
        else:
