For a given number, check whether the number is a prime number or not. in python code example
Example 1: how to check if a number is prime in python
import math
def prime(x):
if x == 2 or x == 3 or x==5:
return True
if x == 1 or x == 4:
return False
num = 2
a= math.sqrt(x)+4
while a > num:
if x % num == 0:
return False
else:
num = num + 1
return True
Example 2: check if a number is prime python
n=input('Enter the number you want to check: ')
try:
n=int(n)
except:
print('Wrong input.')
quit()
if n==1 or n==0:
print('This is neither prime nor composite')
else:
c=0
for i in range(2,n):
if n%i==0:
c=c+1
if c==0:
print("This is a prime number")
else:
print('This is a composite number.')
