Prime number in Python

Question

#Write your code below this line 👇
def prime_checker(number):
    for num in range (2, number):
        if num % number == 0:
            print("It is not a prime number")
        else:
            print("It is a prime number")


#Write your code above this line 👆
    
#Do NOT change any of the code below👇
n = int(input("Check this number: "))
prime_checker(number=n)

How can I print a text that number is prime or not only once?

Answer 1

There are few mistakes in your code. I have modified them.

def prime_checker(number):
    for num in range(2, number):
        if number % num == 0:
            print('Not prime')
            return
    print('Prime number')
# Write your code above this line 👆

# Do NOT change any of the code below👇
n = int(input("Check this number: "))
prime_checker(number=n)

For loop is to check if any of the number starting from 2 is a factor of number or not.
