Project-Euler / 10

Problem 10 asks:

Find the sum of all the primes below two million.

Here’s my solution in Java:

public class Problem10 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int max = 2_000_000;
        boolean[] isComposite = new boolean[max + 1];
        for (int i = 2; i * i <= max; i++) {
            if (!isComposite[i]) {
                for (int j = i; i * j <= max; j++) isComposite[i*j] = true;
            }
        }
        long sum = 0;
        for (int i = 2; i <= max; i++) if (!isComposite[i]) sum += i; 
        System.out.println(sum);
    }
}

It uses the sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm. It could be optimized by using the sieve of Atkin, and/or using a bit vector instead of a boolean array, but as is it runs in a very fast time.
