Three methods to check is prime, the later, the better.
#include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> int isPrime(int n) { int i; for( i = 2; i < n; i++) if(n % i == 0) return 0; return 1; } int isPrime2(int n) { int i; for( i = 2; i <= sqrt(n); i++) if(n % i == 0) return 0; return 1; } int isPrime3(int n) { int i; if(n == 1 || n == 2) return 1; if(n % 2 == 0) return 0; // Only need to check the odd ones. for( i = 3; i <= sqrt(n); i += 2) if(n % i == 0) return 0; return 1; }
