write a program to determine if a number is a prime number in c language code example
Example 1: prime check in c
int isPrime(long long number) {
if (number == 0 || number == 1 || (number % 2 == 0 && number > 2)) {
return 0;
}
else {
for (long long i=3; i <= (long long)sqrt(number)+1; i++) {
if (number % i == 0) {
return 0;
}
}
return 1;
}
}
Example 2: c program to check prime number using for loop
#include
int main() {
int n, i, flag = 0;
printf("Enter a positive integer: ");
scanf("%d", &n);
for (i = 2; i <= n / 2; ++i) {
// condition for non-prime
if (n % i == 0) {
flag = 1;
break;
}
}
if (n == 1) {
printf("1 is neither prime nor composite.");
}
else {
if (flag == 0)
printf("%d is a prime number.", n);
else
printf("%d is not a prime number.", n);
}
return 0;
}
