prime numbers using 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: determine if number is prime python

# Time Efficient Primality Check in Python

def primeCheck(n):
    # 0, 1, even numbers greater than 2 are NOT PRIME
    if n==1 or n==0 or (n % 2 == 0 and n > 2):
        return "Not prime"
    else:
        # Not prime if divisable by another number less
        # or equal to the square root of itself.
        # n**(1/2) returns square root of n
        for i in range(3, int(n**(1/2))+1, 2):
            if n%i == 0:
                return "Not prime"
        return "Prime"

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)

Example 4: 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.')
