What is a prime number ?

The prime number is the number which is only divisible by 1 or itself. Example : 2,3,5,7,11

Steps to write Prime Number Program

• Prompt user to enter the number
• Create temporary variable isNumberPrime = true;
• Check if the enter number is equal to 1 or less than 1 , then display “1 cannot be Prime Number”
• Check if Number is greater than 1, then iterate each number till it reaches to the given Number
• If Number divided with iteration Value =0, then display “Number cannot be Prime Number”
• else display ” Number is Prime Number”

 <script>
let userValue = parseInt(prompt("Enter the number: "));
let isNumberPrime  = true;

if (userValue == 1) {
    document.writeln("1 is neither prime nor composite number.");
}
else if (userValue < 1) {
   document.writeln("Negative number cannot be a prime number");
}
else if (userValue > 1) {
    for (let i = 2; i < userValue; i++) {
        if (userValue % i == 0) {
            isNumberPrime = false;
            break;
        }
    }

    if (isNumberPrime) {
        document.writeln(`${userValue} is a prime number`);
    } else {
       document.writeln(`${userValue} is a not prime number`);
    }
}

</script>

Output:

Enter the number: 7
7 is a prime number

Enter the number: 1
1 is neither prime nor composite number.

Enter the number: -11
Negative number cannot be a prime number
