Is a number prime?
Define a function that takes an integer argument and returns a logical value true
or false
depending on if the integer is a prime.
Per Wikipedia, a prime number ( or a prime ) is a natural number greater than 1
that has no positive divisors other than 1
and itself.
Requirements
- You can assume you will be given an integer input.
- You can not assume that the integer will be only positive. You may be given negative numbers as well ( or
0
). - NOTE on performance: There are no fancy optimizations required, but still the most trivial solutions might time out. Numbers go up to 2^31 ( or similar, depending on language ). Looping all the way up to
n
, orn/2
, will be too slow.
Example
IsPrime(1) /* false */
IsPrime(2) /* true */
IsPrime(-1) /* false */
