program to find the prime numbers upto n in javascript code example

Example 1: javascript find a prime number

// This seems to be the most common and comprehensive means
// of implementing a 'is a number a prime function' in javascript 
// if you would like t0 learn more complex , but efficient algorithms. 
// Visit the link below
// https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11966520/how-to-find-prime-numbers-between-0-100

function isPrime(num) {
  if(num < 2) return false;

  for (let k = 2; k < num; k++){
    if( num % k == 0){
      return false;
    }
  }
  return true;
}

Example 2: JS print all prime numbers

// program to print prime numbers between the two numbers

// take input from the user
const lowerNumber = parseInt(prompt('Enter lower number: '));
const higherNumber = parseInt(prompt('Enter higher number: '));

console.log(`The prime numbers between ${lowerNumber} and ${higherNumber} are:`);

// looping from lowerNumber to higherNumber
for (let i = lowerNumber; i <= higherNumber; i++) {
    let flag = 0;

    // looping through 2 to user input number
    for (let j = 2; j < i; j++) {
        if (i % j == 0) {
            flag = 1;
            break;
        }
    }

    // if number greater than 1 and not divisible by other numbers
    if (i > 1 && flag == 0) {
        console.log(i);
    }
}
