how to find prime numbers python code example

Example 1: prime number in python

def prime(num):
    if num>1:
        s=int(num/2)
        for i in range(2,s+1):
            if num%i==0:
                return("not prime")
                break
        return("prime")
print(prime(239))

Example 2: python program to find n prime numbers

num = 10
for i in range(2,num+1):
    for j in range(2,i):
        if(i%j == 0):
            break
    else:
        print(i)

Example 3: list of prime numbers in python

n = 20
primes = []

for i in range(2, n + 1):
	for j in range(2, int(i ** 0.5) + 1):
 		if i%j == 0:
 			break
	else:
		primes.append(i)

print(primes)
