    Default Project Euler Questio 2

    Hello, can any one please help me in problem 2 of project euler?

    Here is the problem::::::::::::


    Each new term in the Fibonacci sequence is generated by adding the previous two terms. By starting with 1 and 2, the first 10 terms will be:

    1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ...

    By considering the terms in the Fibonacci sequence whose values do not exceed four million, find the sum of the even-valued terms.


    My Code:

    import java.io.*;

    class pro2
    {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
    int a=1,b=2,c=0,sum=0;
    while(c<=4000000)
    {
    c=a+b;
    if((c%2)==0)
    {sum+=c;}
    a=b;
    b=c;
    }
    System.out.println(sum);

    }
    }

    Hello goldenpsycho!
    The only problem I can see with your code is that you start adding to sum the even prime numbers after three. i.e you don't add prime number 2 to your sum. Just add 2 to your sum and you will get what you want.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi andread90, thank you so much for your help. i can't believe that i overlooked such a small thing. I had written this program 3 times before coming to this conclusion so i guess i lost a bit of patience.

    Thanks, your solution worked.
