Assignment and Task

Can you create a program using an arrow function to check if the number entered by the user is a prime number or not. This function should compute the result and return them to the function call. And, the results should be printed from outside the function.

Solution:

let findPrime = (number) => {
    let result = true;
    for (let i = 2; i <= number -1; i++) {
        if(number % i == 0) {
            result = false;
            break;
        }
    }
    return result;
}

const userValue = prompt(parseInt("Enter a positive number: "));
let checkResult = findPrime(userValue);
if(checkResult) {
    console.log("The number is prime.");
} else {
    console.log("The number is not prime.");
}

Output

Enter a positive number: 435
The number is not prime.
