C Program to Check Prime Number or Not

A prime number is a positive integer which is divisible only by 1 and itself. For example: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13


Program:

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int n, i, check = 0;

    printf("Enter a positive integer: ");
    scanf("%d", &n);

    for(i = 2; i <= n/2; ++i)
    {
        // condition for non-prime number
        if(n%i == 0)
        {
            check = 1;
            break;
        }
    }

    if (n == 1) 
    {
      printf("1 is neither a prime nor a composite number ");
    }
    else 
    {
        if (check == 0)
          printf("%d is a prime number.", n);
        else
          printf("%d is not a prime number.", n);
    }
    
    return 0;
}

Output:

Enter a positive integer: 29
29 is a prime number.
