    Default Find prime nums from 1-100 algorithm

    Hi to all.
    I learn java with some book and i tried to creat an algorithm that show the prime numbers form 1 to 100.
    The principle beahind it was that prime numbers can be divided by themself and 1 only - so the sum of the numbers that can be divided by is - the number himself plus 1.
    For example - 5 can be divided by 1 and 5 - so the sum of the dividers is 6...

    So this is the algorithm i created, and its say only 3 by the println..
    What is the problem please help me guys


    import java.util.Scanner;
    class Primery1
    {
    static Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
    int n, i, c ,sum =0;
       for (i=2; i<=100; i++)
       {
    	   for (n=1; n<=i; n++)
    	   {if ((i%n) == 0)
    		   sum=n+sum;
    	   }
    	   c=i+1;
    	   if (sum == c)
    	   System.out.println(i);}
     
     
     
    }
    }

    its say only 3 by the println..
    Can you show what you input to the program and what it prints out?
    How often is (sum == c)?
    Add a println to print out the value of c and the value of sum so you will see what the program is doing when it executes.

    To copy the contents of the command prompt window:
    Click on Icon in upper left corner
    Select Edit
    Select 'Select All' - The selection will show
    Click in upper left again
    Select Edit and click 'Copy'

    Paste here.

    for (i=2; i<=100; i++)
       {
    	   for (n=1; n<=i; n++)
    	   {if ((i%n) == 0)
    		   sum=n+sum;
    	   }
    	   c=i+1;
    	   if (sum == c)
    	   System.out.println(i);} 
    }

    You have to restart the variable 'sum' in each for cycle because he's keeping the same sum as your previous number. In other words, the 'sum' variable is a total sum of all number's dividend from 1 to 100. You have to restart it like this:

    for (i=2; i<=100; i++)
       {
               sum = 0;
    	   for (n=1; n<=i; n++)
    	   {if ((i%n) == 0)
    		   sum=n+sum;
    	   }
    	   c=i+1;
    	   if (sum == c)
    	   System.out.println(i);} 
    }
