I want to use a bit-array and the Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm to find all the primes within a certain range. My code compiles, but it prints all the non-prime numbers rather than prime numbers (except for 2 because I ask my Sieve function to print 2). Can someone review my code and give me some hints on how to fix it? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Note: The requirement of my homework is to use a bit-array.

void print_prime (int prime_num);
void sieve_Prime(unsigned int bit_arr[]);

{
//int bit_arr[MAXBYTES]; //This is the bit array (32 X MAXBYTES)
unsigned int bit_arr[MAXBYTES]; //or bit_arr[MAXBYTES]
int i;
for (i=0; i < MAXBYTES; i++)
{
bit_arr[i] = 0x00; //initialize all bits to 0s
}
setBit(bit_arr, 0); //0 is not prime, set it to be 1
setBit(bit_arr, 1); //1 is not prime, set it to be 1
sieve_Prime(bit_arr);
printf("\n");
return 0;
}
//Set the bit at the k-th position to 1
void setBit(unsigned int A[], int k)
{
int i = k/32;
int pos = k % 32;
unsigned int flag = 1; //flag = 0000 ..... 00001
flag = flag << pos; //flag = 0000...010...000 (shifted k positions)
A[i] = A[i] | flag; //Set the bit at the k-th position in A[i];
}
//get the bit at the k-th position
unsigned getBit(unsigned int A[], int k)
{
int i =k/32;
int pos = k % 32;
unsigned int flag = 1;

return 1;

printf("%d\t", prime_num);
numfound++;
}

{
