in many of the previous posts i dint observe the check for 0 and 1.
please let me know whether this method is correct or not.

You mean you can't tell?

Does it, or does it not output a list of prime numbers?

I'm sure it could be more efficient, but first you need to make sure it produces the right answers.

Yet Another Version of Findind a Prime number:

#define CHK_NUM_IS_2_3_5( n )  ( n == 2 || n == 3 || n == 5 )
#define REM_2( n )  ( n % 2 != 0 ) 
#define REM_3( n )  ( n % 3 != 0 ) 
#define REM_5( n )  ( n % 5 != 0 ) 
#define CHK_REM_2_3_5( n ) ( REM_2( n ) && REM_3( n ) && (REM_5( n ) )           
                     
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
  int num ;
	
  REPEAT : 
    printf( "Enter a Num: " ) ;
    scanf( "%d", &num ) ;
    if( num <= 1 )
            printf(" ( %d ) is not PRIME \n " , num );
    else if  ( CHK_NUM_IS_2_3_5 ( num ) )
           printf(" ( %d ) is PRIME \n " , num );
   else if (CHK_REM_2_3_5 ( num ) )    
             printf(" ( %d ) is PRIME \n " , num );
  else
           printf(" ( %d ) is not PRIME \n " , num );
 printf(" Press < Enter > to continue..\n ");
 getchar();
 if ( getchar() < 0 )
	goto END;
goto REPEAT ;
END :
return 0;
}

i Hope this is the Efficient Version of All.
Any other ways, Plz Welcome.

I think your program will flag 49 as a prime number. 49 cannot be divided by 2, 3 or 5.

I hope this is a joke.

Please, do not take this code seriously... :icon_rolleyes:

#define CHK_REM_2_3_5( n ) ( REM_2( n ) && REM_3( n ) && (REM_5( n ) )

@Gaiety
I think there are more divisors other than 2, 3 & 5

Please clear your concept of prime numbers

Thanks for all replies. i dint take that as a serious program .

i just expected that would be.
