An emirp (prime spelled backwards) is a prime number that results in a different prime when its digits are reversed.[1] This definition excludes the related palindromic primes. Emirps are also called reversible primes.


this are the list of emirps

public class EmirpProgram {
	public static void  main(String args[]){
		int a = 13;
		int count = 0;
		while(count<100){
			if(isEmirp(a)){
				System.out.print(a + "    ");
				count++;
				if(count%10==0)
					System.out.println();
				
			}
			a++;
		}
		
	}
	public static boolean isPrime(int p){
		for(int i=2;i <p; i++){
			if( p%i==0){
				return false;
				
			}
		}
		return true;
			
	}
	public static boolean isEmirp(int x){
		return isPrime(x) && isPrime(reverse(x));
		
	}
	public static int reverse(int r){
		if(r<10) 
			return r;
		return flipper(r%10,r/10);
		
		
	}
	public static int flipper(int a, int b){
		if(b<1)
			return a;
		
		
		
		return flipper(a*10+b%10,b/10);
		
		
		
	}

}

here is my output

some numbers are right and some arent, no numbers are missing tho just extras
what did I do wrong

Are you asking whether your code follows your algorithm correctly?
Or are you asking if your algorithm is correct?

For the first question, post your algorithm so we can check your code against it.
For the second, ask Google.

this is my algorithm for flipping numbers

public static int reverse(int r){
        if(r<10) 
            return r;
        return flipper(r%10,r/10);

i mod it by 10 and divide it by 10

That's code. Can you write your algorithm in English?

some numbers are right and some arent, no numbers are missing tho just extras

Which are the extra numbers?
