I made a program that returns the sum of all primes under 2 million. I really have no idea what's going on with this one, I get 142891895587 as my answer when the correct answer is 142913828922. It seems like its missing a few primes in there. I'm pretty sure the getPrime function works as it is supposed to. I used it a couple times before and worked correctly than. The code is as follows:

vector<int> getPrimes(int number);

int main()
{

    unsigned long int sum = 0;
    vector<int> primes = getPrimes(2000000);

    for(int i = 0; i < primes.size(); i++)
    {
        sum += primes[i];
    }

    cout << sum;

    return 0;
}


vector<int> getPrimes(int number)
{

    vector<bool> sieve(number+1,false);
    vector<int> primes;
    sieve[0] = true;
    sieve[1] = true;

    for(int i = 2; i <= number; i++)
    {
        if(sieve[i]==false)
        {
            primes.push_back(i);
            unsigned long int temp = i*i;
            while(temp <= number)
            {
                sieve[temp] = true;
                temp = temp + i;
            }
        }
    }
    return primes;
}
