A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that is evenly divisible by only 1 and itself. For example, the number 5 is prime be

cause it can only be evenly divided by 1 and 5. The number 6, however, is not prime because it can be divided by 1, 2, 3, and 6. Write a Boolean function named isPrime, which takes an integer as an argument and returns true if the argument is a prime number, and false otherwise. Demonstrate the function in a complete program. Tip: Recall that the % operator divides one number by another and returns the remainder of the division. In an expression such as num1 % num2, the % operator will return 0 if num1 is evenly divisible by num2.

Answer:

The c++ program to check prime numbers is shown below.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

bool isPrime(int n);

bool isPrime(int n)

{

   bool prime;

   int p=0;

   

   if(n==2 || n==3)

       prime = true;

   else if(n%2 == 0)

       prime = false;

   else

   {

       for(int k=3; k<n/2; k++)

       {

           if(n%k == 0)

               p++;

       }

   

   if(p>1)

       prime = false;

   else

       prime = true;

   }

   

   return prime;

}

int main() {

   int num;

   do

   {

       cout<<"Enter a positive number."<<endl;

       cin>>num;

       if(num<1)

       {

           cout<<"Invalid number. Enter a positive number"<<endl;

           cin>>num;

       }

   }while(num<2);

   

   cout<<"The "<<num<<" is prime. "<<isPrime(num)<<endl;

   

   

}

 

OUTPUT

Enter a positive number.

-4

Invalid number. Enter a positive number

0

Enter a positive number.

101

The 101 is prime. 1

Explanation:

The user input is validated for positivity. A do while loop along with if statement is implemented for verification.

do

   {

       cout<<"Enter a positive number."<<endl;

       cin>>num;

       if(num<1)

       {

           cout<<"Invalid number. Enter a positive number"<<endl;

           cin>>num;

       }

   }while(num<1);

The test for prime number is done by using multiple if else statements and a Boolean variable prime is used.

If user inputs 2 or 3, variable prime is set to true.

Else If user inputs an even number, variable prime is set to false. This is done by taking modulo of the number upon division by 2.

Else if user inputs neither an even number nor a number less than 3, the modulus of the number is taken with divisors beginning from 3 up to half of the input number. Here, an integer variable p is used and based on its value, variable prime is set to true or false.

For this, an integer variable p is initialized to 0. A number can be completely divisible by itself or by its factors.

If the number is divisible by any of the divisors, value of variable p is increased by 1. If value of p is greater than 1, this means that the user input is divisible by more than one divisor. Hence, the given number is not a prime number and the variable prime is set to false. Otherwise prime will be set to true.

The value 1 indicates true and 0 indicates false.

Live preview is available on a touch screen T/F
TEA [102]
<span>It is false that live preview is available on a touch screen. Life preview refers to cameras mostly, and to the fact that its display screen can be used as a viewfinder. Viewfinder is what you look through when you are using a camera to take a photo, or to focus on something. So, no, touch screen devices do not have this feature available, only the "old-school" cameras do.</span>
