Prime number program in python with explanation

Ans: 

In this tutorial we are going to learn how to write a program to check whether a given integer number by user is a prime number or not in Python programming language.

If given number is prime then our logic will assign value 0 to a temp variable and will print “number is prime” and if the number is not prime then our logic will assign value 1 to a temp variable program will print “number is not prime”.

Before directly moving on the writing prime number program in c, first you should know

What is prime number?

In Mathematical term, A prime number is a number which can be divided by only 1 and number itself.

For example : 2, 3, 5, 7, 13,…

Here 2, 3 or any of the above number can only be divided by 1 or number itself.

How our program will behave?

Suppose if someone gives an input 2 then our program should give output “given number is a prime number”.

And if someone gives 4 as  an input then our program should give output “given number is not a prime number”.

Python program to check given number is prime or not

i,temp=0,0
n = int(input("please give a number : "))
for i in range(2,n//2):
    if n%i == 0:
        temp=1
        break
if temp == 1:
    print("given number is not prime")
else:
    print("given number is prime")

Output:
