Sum of Primes Below a Limit

Add all primes strictly below a limit.

Problem

A prime is an integer greater than 1 divisible only by 1 and itself. Add every prime strictly smaller than limit. The limit itself is excluded even when it is prime.

Implement prime_sum(limit).

Input

limit: The exclusive upper bound.

Output

Return the sum of the eligible primes, or 0 when none exist.

Constraints

0 ≤ limit ≤ 2,000,000. Return the sum using a signed 64-bit integer.

Examples

Example 1
Input:
limit = 12

Expected output:
expected = 28
Input:
long long limit = 12;

Expected output:
long long expected = 28;
Input:
long limit = 12;

Expected output:
long expected = 28;

Explanation

The primes below 12 are 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11; their sum is 28.

Example 2
Input:
limit = 2

Expected output:
expected = 0
Input:
long long limit = 2;

Expected output:
long long expected = 0;
Input:
long limit = 2;

Expected output:
long expected = 0;

Explanation

There are no primes strictly below 2.
