I have to write a program to check if the entered number has these qualifications:
A number that is prime it self, the reverse of that number is also prime, and the number's digits are prime numbers too (Like this number: 7523).
If the needs meet, it has to show "yes" when you enter and run the program otherwise "no".
I know both codes for prime and reverse numbers but I don't know how to merge them.
This is the code:
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;
void prime_check(int x) {
int a, i, flag = 1;
cin >> a;
for (i = 2; i <= a / 2 && flag == 1; i++) {
if (a % i == 0)
flag = 0;
}
if (flag == 1)
cout << "prime";
else
break;
}
int main() {
int a, r, sum = 0;
cin >> a;
while (a != 0) {
r = a % 10;
sum = (sum * 10) + r;
a = a / 10;
}
}
The program has to check each digit of the number entered to see if it is prime or not in every step, then show "yes", but it doesn't work.
Welcome to the site.
I don't know how to merge them.
void prime_check(int n) { /*code*/ }
I'd understand that you don't know how to use this.
It's very easy!
int main()
{
int i = 0;
prime_check(i);
}
If you are confused about how the program executes, you could use a debugger to see where it goes. But since using a debugger can be a bit hard at first, I would suggest to add debug prints to see how the program executes.
This line of code prints the file and line number automatically.
std::cout << __FILE__ << ":" << __LINE__ << "\n";
I'd suggest to add it at the start of every function you wish to understand.
One step further is to make it into a macro, just so that it's easy to use.
#define DEBUGPRINT std::cout << __FILE__ << ":" << __LINE__ << "\n";
Check a working example here:
http://www.cpp.sh/2hpam
Note that it says <stdin>::14 instead of the filename because it's running on a webpage.
I have done some changes to your code, and added comments everywhere I've made changes. Check it out:
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;
bool prime_check(int x) { // I have changed the datatype of this function to bool, because I want to store if all the digits are prime or not
int i, flag = 1; // Removed the variable a, because the function is already taking x as input
for (i = 2; i <= x / 2 && flag == 1; i++) {
if (x % i == 0)
flag = 0;
}
return flag == 1;
}
int main() {
int a, r, sum = 0, original; // added original variable, to store the number added
bool eachDigit = true; // added to keep track of each digit
cin >> a;
original = a;
while (a != 0) {
r = a % 10;
eachDigit = prime_check(r); // Here Each digit of entered number is checked for prime
sum = (sum * 10) + r;
a = a / 10;
}
if (eachDigit && prime_check(original) && prime_check(sum)) // At the end checking if all the digits, entered number and the revered number are prime
cout << "yes";
else
cout<< "no";
}
For optimization, you can check if the entered number is prime or not before starting that loop, and also you can break the loop right away if one of the digits of the entered number is not prime, Like this:
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;
bool prime_check(int x) { // I have changed the datatype of this function to bool, because I want to store if all the digits are prime or not
int i, flag = 1; // Removed the variable a, because the function is already taking x as input
for (i = 2; i <= x / 2 && flag == 1; i++) {
if (x % i == 0)
flag = 0;
}
return flag == 1;
}
int main() {
int a, r, sum = 0;
bool eachDigit = true, entered; // added to keep track of each digit
cin >> a;
entered = prime_check(a);
while (a != 0 && entered && eachDigit) {
r = a % 10;
eachDigit = prime_check(r); // Here Each digit of entered number is checked for prime
sum = (sum * 10) + r;
a = a / 10;
}
if (eachDigit && entered && prime_check(sum)) // At the end checking if all the digits, entered number and the revered number are prime
cout << "yes";
else
cout<< "no";
}
Suppose you have an int variable num which you want to check for your conditions, you can achieve your target by the following:
int rev_num = 0;
bool flag = true; // Assuming 'num' satisfies your conditions, until proven otherwise
if (prime_check(num) == false) {
flag = false;
}
else while (num != 0) {
int digit = num % 10;
rev_num = rev_num * 10 + digit;
// Assuming your prime_check function returns 'true' and 'false'
if (prime_check(digit) == false) {
flag = false;
break;
}
num /= 10;
}
if (prime_check(rev_num) == false) {
flag = false;
}
if (flag) {
cout << "Number satisfies all conditions\n";
}
else {
cout << "Number does not satisfy all conditions\n";
}
The problem is that each of your functions is doing three things, 1) inputting the number, 2) testing the number and 3) outputting the result. To combine these functions you need to have two functions that are only testing the number. Then you can use both functions on the same number, instead of inputting two different numbers and printing two different results. You will need to use function parameters, to pass the input number to the two functions, and function return values to return the result of the test. The inputting of the number and the outputting of the result go in main. Here's an outline
// returns true if the number is a prime, false otherwise
bool prime_check(int a)
{
...
}
// returns true if the number is a reverse prime, false otherwise
bool reverse_prime_check(int a)
{
...
}
int main()
{
int a;
cin >> a;
if (prime_check(a) && reverse_prime_check(a))
cout << "prime\n";
else
cout << "not prime\n";
}
I'll leave you to write the functions themselves, and there's nothing here to do the digit checks either. I'll leave you do to that.
I have perused a lot of code on this topic, but most of them produce the numbers that are prime all the way up to the input number. However, I need code which only checks whether the given input number is prime.
Here is what I was able to write, but it does not work:
void primenumber(int number)
{
if(number%2!=0)
cout<<"Number is prime:"<<endl;
else
cout<<"number is NOt prime"<<endl;
}
I would appreciate if someone could give me advice on how to make this work properly.
Update
I modified it to check on all the numbers in a for loop.
void primenumber(int number)
{
for(int i=1; i<number; i++)
{
if(number%i!=0)
cout<<"Number is prime:"<<endl;
else
cout<<"number is NOt prime"<<endl;
}
}
bool isPrime(int number){
if(number < 2) return false;
if(number == 2) return true;
if(number % 2 == 0) return false;
for(int i=3; (i*i)<=number; i+=2){
if(number % i == 0 ) return false;
}
return true;
}
My own IsPrime() function, written and based on the deterministic variant of the famous Rabin-Miller algorithm, combined with optimized step brute forcing, giving you one of the fastest prime testing functions out there.

To use, copy and paste the code into the top of your program. Call it, and it returns a BOOL value, either true or false.
if(IsPrime(number))
{
cout << "It's prime";
}
else
{
cout<<"It's composite";
}
If you get a problem compiling with "__int64", replace that with "long". It compiles fine under VS2008 and VS2010.
How it works:
There are three parts to the function. Part checks to see if it is one of the rare exceptions (negative numbers, 1), and intercepts the running of the program.
Part two starts if the number is smaller than 1373653, which is the theoretically number where the Rabin Miller algorithm will beat my optimized brute force function. Then comes two levels of Rabin Miller, designed to minimize the number of witnesses needed. As most numbers that you'll be testing are under 4 billion, the probabilistic Rabin-Miller algorithm can be made deterministic by checking witnesses 2, 7, and 61. If you need to go over the 4 billion cap, you will need a large number library, and apply a modulus or bit shift modification to the power() function.
If you insist on a brute force method, here is just my optimized brute force IsPrime() function:
inline bool IsPrime( int number )
{
if ( ( (!(number & 1)) && number != 2 ) || (number < 2) || (number % 3 == 0 && number != 3) )
return (false);
for( int k = 1; 36*k*k-12*k < number;++k)
if ( (number % (6*k+1) == 0) || (number % (6*k-1) == 0) )
return (false);
return true;
}
}
How this brute force piece works:
All prime numbers (except 2 and 3) can be expressed in the form 6k+1 or 6k-1, where k is a positive whole number. This code uses this fact, and tests all numbers in the form of 6k+1 or 6k-1 less than the square root of the number in question. This piece is integrated into my larger IsPrime() function (the function shown first).
If you need to find all the prime numbers below a number, find all the prime numbers below 1000, look into the Sieve of Eratosthenes. Another favorite of mine.
As an additional note, I would love to see anyone implement the Eliptical Curve Method algorithm, been wanting to see that implemented in C++ for a while now, I lost my implementation of it. Theoretically, it's even faster than the deterministic Rabin Miller algorithm I implemented, although I'm not sure if that's true for numbers under 4 billion.
You need to do some more checking. Right now, you are only checking if the number is divisible by 2. Do the same for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... up to number. Hint: use a loop.
After you resolve this, try looking for optimizations.
Hint: You only have to check all numbers up to the square root of the number
I would guess taking sqrt and running foreach frpm 2 to sqrt+1 if(input% number!=0) return false;
once you reach sqrt+1 you can be sure its prime.
C++
bool isPrime(int number){
if (number != 2){
if (number < 2 || number % 2 == 0) {
return false;
}
for(int i=3; (i*i)<=number; i+=2){
if(number % i == 0 ){
return false;
}
}
}
return true;
}
Javascript
function isPrime(number)
{
if (number !== 2) {
if (number < 2 || number % 2 === 0) {
return false;
}
for (var i=3; (i*i)<=number; i+=2)
{
if (number % 2 === 0){
return false;
}
}
}
return true;
}
Python
def isPrime(number):
if (number != 2):
if (number < 2 or number % 2 == 0):
return False
i = 3
while (i*i) <= number:
if(number % i == 0 ):
return False;
i += 2
return True;
If you know the range of the inputs (which you do since your function takes an int), you can precompute a table of primes less than or equal to the square root of the max input (2^31-1 in this case), and then test for divisibility by each prime in the table less than or equal to the square root of the number given.
This code only checks if the number is divisible by two. For a number to be prime, it must not be evenly divisible by all integers less than itself. This can be naively implemented by checking if it is divisible by all integers less than floor(sqrt(n)) in a loop. If you are interested, there are a number of much faster algorithms in existence.
If you are lazy, and have a lot of RAM, create a sieve of Eratosthenes which is practically a giant array from which you kicked all numbers that are not prime.
From then on every prime "probability" test will be super quick.
The upper limit for this solution for fast results is the amount of you RAM. The upper limit for this solution for superslow results is your hard disk's capacity.
I follow same algorithm but different implementation that loop to sqrt(n) with step 2 only odd numbers because I check that if it is divisible by 2 or 2*k it is false. Here is my code
public class PrimeTest {
public static boolean isPrime(int i) {
if (i < 2) {
return false;
} else if (i % 2 == 0 && i != 2) {
return false;
} else {
for (int j = 3; j <= Math.sqrt(i); j = j + 2) {
if (i % j == 0) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
}
/**
* #param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (int i = 1; i < 100; i++) {
if (isPrime(i)) {
System.out.println(i);
}
}
}
}
Use mathematics first find square root of number then start loop till the number ends which you get after square rooting.
check for each value whether the given number is divisible by the iterating value .if any value divides the given number then it is not a prime number otherwise prime.
Here is the code
bool is_Prime(int n)
{
int square_root = sqrt(n); // use math.h
int toggle = 1;
for(int i = 2; i <= square_root; i++)
{
if(n%i==0)
{
toggle = 0;
break;
}
}
if(toggle)
return true;
else
return false;
}
bool check_prime(int num) {
for (int i = num - 1; i > 1; i--) {
if ((num % i) == 0)
return false;
}
return true;
}
checks for any number if its a prime number
Someone had the following.
bool check_prime(int num) {
for (int i = num - 1; i > 1; i--) {
if ((num % i) == 0)
return false;
}
return true;
}
This mostly worked. I just tested it in Visual Studio 2017. It would say that anything less than 2 was also prime (so 1, 0, -1, etc.)
Here is a slight modification to correct this.
bool check_prime(int number)
{
if (number > 1)
{
for (int i = number - 1; i > 1; i--)
{
if ((number % i) == 0)
return false;
}
return true;
}
return false;
}
Count by 6 for better speed:
bool isPrime(int n)
{
if(n==1) return false;
if(n==2 || n==3) return true;
if(n%2==0 || n%3==0) return false;
for(int i=5; i*i<=n; i=i+6)
if(n%i==0 || n%(i+2)==0)
return false;
return true;
}
There are several different approches to this problem.
The "Naive" Method: Try all (odd) numbers up to (the root of) the number.
Improved "Naive" Method: Only try every 6n ± 1.
Probabilistic tests: Miller-Rabin, Solovay-Strasse, etc.
Which approach suits you depends and what you are doing with the prime.
You should atleast read up on Primality Testing.
If n is 2, it's prime.
If n is 1, it's not prime.
If n is even, it's not prime.
If n is odd, bigger than 2, we must check all odd numbers 3..sqrt(n)+1, if any of this numbers can divide n, n is not prime, else, n is prime.
For better performance i recommend sieve of eratosthenes.
Here is the code sample:
bool is_prime(int n)
{
if (n == 2) return true;
if (n == 1 || n % 2 == 0) return false;
for (int i = 3; i*i < n+1; i += 2) {
if (n % i == 0) return false;
}
return true;
}
I came up with this:
int counter = 0;
bool checkPrime(int x) {
for (int y = x; y > 0; y--){
if (x%y == 0) {
counter++;
}
}
if (counter == 2) {
counter = 0; //resets counter for next input
return true; //if its only divisible by two numbers (itself and one) its a prime
}
else counter = 0;
return false;
}
This is a quick efficient one:
bool isPrimeNumber(int n) {
int divider = 2;
while (n % divider != 0) {
divider++;
}
if (n == divider) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
It will start finding a divisible number of n, starting by 2. As soon as it finds one, if that number is equal to n then it's prime, otherwise it's not.
//simple function to determine if a number is a prime number
//to state if it is a prime number
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int isPrime(int x); //functioned defined after int main()
int main() {
int y;
cout << "enter value" << endl;
cin >> y;
isPrime(y);
return 0;
} //end of main function
//-------------function
int isPrime(int x) {
int counter = 0;
cout << "factors of " << x << " are " << "\n\n"; //print factors of the number
for (int i = 0; i <= x; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j <= x; j++)
{
if (i * j == x) //check if the number has multiples;
{
cout << i << " , "; //output provided for the reader to see the
// muliples
++counter; //counts the number of factors
}
}
}
cout << "\n\n";
if (counter > 2) {
cout << "value is not a prime number" << "\n\n";
}
if (counter <= 2) {
cout << "value is a prime number" << endl;
}
}
Here is a simple program to check whether a number is prime or not:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int n, i, m=0, flag=0;
cout << "Enter the Number to check Prime: ";
cin >> n;
m=n/2;
for(i = 2; i <= m; i++)
{
if(n % i == 0)
{
cout<<"Number is not Prime."<<endl;
flag=1;
break;
}
}
if (flag==0)
cout << "Number is Prime."<<endl;
return 0;
}
Here is a C++ code to determine that a given number is prime:
bool isPrime(int num)
{
if(num < 2) return false;
for(int i = 2; i <= sqrt(num); i++)
if(num % i == 0) return false;
return true;
}
PS Don't forget to include math.h library to use sqrt function
well crafted, share it with you:
bool isPrime(int num) {
if (num == 2) return true;
if (num < 2) return false;
if (num % 2 == 0) return false;
for (int i = num - 1; i > 1; i--) {
if (num % i == 0) return false;
}
return true;
}
There are many potential optimization in prime number testing.
Yet many answers here, not only are worse the O(sqrt(n)), they suffer from undefined behavior (UB) and incorrect functionality.
A simple prime test:
// Return true when number is a prime.
bool is_prime(int number) {
// Take care of even values, it is only a bit test.
if (number % 2 == 0) {
return number == 2;
}
// Loop from 3 to square root (n)
for (int test_factor = 3; test_factor <= number / test_factor; test_factor +=
2) {
if (number % test_factor == 0) {
return false;
}
}
return n > 1;
}
Do not use test_factor * test_factor <= number. It risks signed integer overflow (UB) for large primes.
Good compilers see nearby number/test_factor and number % test_factor and emit code that computes both for the about the time cost of one. If still concerned, consider div().
Avoid sqrt(n). Weak floating point libraries do not perform this as exactly as we need for this integer problem, possible returning a value just ever so less than an expected whole number. If still interested in a sqrt(), use lround(sqrt(n)) once before the loop.
Avoid sqrt(n) with wide integer types of n. Conversion of n to a double may lose precision. long double may fair no better.
Test to insure the prime test code does not behave poorly or incorrectly with 1, 0 or any negative value.
Consider bool is_prime(unsigned number) or bool is_prime(uintmax_t number) for extended range.
Avoid testing with candidate factors above the square root n and less than n. Such test factors are never factors of n. Not adhering to this makes for slow code.
A factor is more likely a small value that an large one. Testing small values first is generally far more efficient for non-primes.
Pedantic: Avoid if (number & 1 == 0) {. It is an incorrect test when number < 0 and encoded with rare ones' complement. Use if (number % 2 == 0) { and trust your compiler to emit good code.
More advanced techniques use a list of known/discovered primes and the Sieve of Eratosthenes.

I Have Use This Idea For Finding If The No. Is Prime or Not:
#include <conio.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int x, a;
cout << "Enter The No. :";
cin >> x;
int prime(unsigned int);
a = prime(x);
if (a == 1)
cout << "It Is A Prime No." << endl;
else
if (a == 0)
cout << "It Is Composite No." << endl;
getch();
}
int prime(unsigned int x) {
if (x == 1) {
cout << "It Is Neither Prime Nor Composite";
return 2;
}
if (x == 2 || x == 3 || x == 5 || x == 7)
return 1;
if (x % 2 != 0 && x % 3 != 0 && x % 5 != 0 && x % 7 != 0)
return 1;
else
return 0;
}
if(number%2!=0)
cout<<"Number is prime:"<<endl;
The code is incredibly false. 33 divided by 2 is 16 with reminder of 1 but it's not a prime number...
