Complete the code to find if a given number is a prime number? The program will take a positive integer greater than 1 as input and indicate if it is a prime number by saying "prime", and if it is not a prime number saying "not a prime". Note there are 3 places in the given code that you need to fix for this code to work properly and give the expected output.

Solution

Sure, here is the corrected code:

def is_prime(n):
    if n > 1:
        for i in range(2, n):
            if (n % i) == 0:
                return "not a prime"
                break
        else:
            return "prime"
    else:
        return "not a prime"

# Test the function
print(is_prime(5))  # Should print "prime"
print(is_prime(4))  # Should print "not a prime"

Here are the corrections:

  1. The function is_prime was defined to check if a number is prime or not.
  2. The for loop was used to check if the number is divisible by any number up to itself. If it is, then it's not a prime number and the function returns "not a prime".
  3. If the number is not divisible by any number up to itself, then it's a prime number and the function returns "prime".
