Project Euler-Problem 10

Description

From Project Euler:

The sum of the primes below 10 is 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 17.
Find the sum of all the primes below two million.

Solution

As you'll recall, back in problem 7 we created a general purpose prime number generator. That is going to come in extremely handy for this problem. Why? Well, the solution is as easy as:

PrimeGenerator.new.take_while { |p| p < 2_000_000 }.reduce(:+)

And that is all there is to it. Now wasn't that simple?
