Example: Check Prime Number

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

int n, i;

bool isPrime = true;

cout << "Enter a positive integer: ";

cin >> n;

for(i = 2; i <= n / 2; ++i)

if(n % i == 0)

isPrime = false;

break;

if (isPrime)

cout << "This is a prime number";

else

cout << "This is not a prime number";

return 0;
}

Check Prime or Not in C++

To check whether the number is a prime number or not a prime number in C++ programming,
