Check if a number can be represented as a sum of a Prime Number and a Perfect Square

Given a positive integer N, the task is to check if N can be represented as a sum of a Prime Number and a Perfect Square or not. If it is possible to represent N in required form, then print “Yes”. Otherwise, print “No”.

Examples:

Input: N = 27
Output: Yes
Explanation: 27 can be expressed as sum of 2 (prime) and 25 (perfect square).

Input: N = 64
Output: No

Naive Approach: The simplest approach to solve the given problem is to store all perfect squares which are less than or equal to N in an array. For every perfect square in the array, say X, check if (N – X) is a prime number or not. If found to be true, then print “Yes”. Otherwise, print “No”.

Algorithm:

  •   Create a function isPrime(n) that accepts an integer n as input and returns true if the supplied number is prime, otherwise false.
  • Inside the isPrime(n) :
    • If the given number n is less than or equal to 1, return false as it is not a prime number.
    • Return true if the given number n is a prime number and is less than or equal to 3.
    •  If the number n is not a prime number and is divisible by 2 or 3, return false.
    •  Repeat this process for each 6th number in the range [5, sqrt(N)]. Return false if n is discovered to be non-prime. Otherwise, return true.                                                                                                                                                       
  • Create a function sumOfPrimeSquare(n) that takes an integer n as input and returns nothing.                                                
  •  Inside sumOfPrimeSquare(n) function.
    • Initialize the integer variable i to 0 
    •  Create squares ArrayList to hold all perfect squares with a size smaller than N.
    •  Place the ideal square in the squares ArrayList while i * i < n.
    • Set a boolean variable flag’s initial value to false.
    • Go through each perfect square in the squares ArrayList iteratively:
      • Put the perfect square difference from n in the difference variable.
      •  Update the flag to true and exit the loop if the difference is prime.
    • Print “Yes” if N is the product of a prime number and a perfect square. Print “No” if not.

Output: 

Yes

 

Time Complexity: O(N)
Auxiliary Space: O(?N)

Efficient Approach: The above approach can be optimized by storing all the prime numbers smaller than N in an array, using Sieve of Eratosthenes. If there exists any prime number, say X, check if (N – X) is a perfect square or not. If found to be true, then print “Yes”. Otherwise, print “No”.
