finding sum of prime numbers under 250

Question

var sum = 0

for (i = 0; i < 250; i++) {

    function checkIfPrime() {

        for (factor = 2; factor < i; factor++) {
            if (i % factor = 0) {
            


        

Answer 1

So i had to face a similar challenge and here is my solution, i hope you find it helpful:

 function sumPrimes(num) {

      // determine if a number is prime
      function isPrime(n) {
        if (n === 2) return true;
        if (n === 3) return true;
        if (n % 2 === 0) return false;
        if (n % 3 === 0) return false;

        var  i = 5;
        var  w = 2;
        while (i * i <= n) {
            if (n % i === 0) {
                return false;
            }
            i += w;
            w = 6 - w;
        }
        return true;
      }

      // subtract 1 for 'not being prime' in my context
      var sum = isPrime(num) ? num - 1 : -1;

      for (var x = 0; x < num; x++) {
        if (isPrime(x) === true) {
          sum += x;
        }
      }

      return sum;
    }
