In this program we will use for loop to check whether the given number is prime or not.
C program to check whether the given number is prime or not
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main()
{
int n, i, flag = 0;
printf("Enter a positive integer: ");
scanf("%d", &n);
if (n == 0 || n == 1)
flag = 1;
for (i = 2; i <= n / 2; ++i)
{
if (n % i == 0)
{
flag = 1;
break;
}
}
if (flag == 0)
printf("%d is a prime number.", n);
else
printf("%d is not a prime number.", n);
return 0;
}
Output
Enter a positive integer: 29
29 is a prime number
