Task

Write a boolean function that tells whether a given integer is prime.



Remember that   1   and all non-positive numbers are not prime.

Use trial division.

Even numbers greater than   2   may be eliminated right away.

A loop from   3   to   √ n    will suffice,   but other loops are allowed.

give n 
flag = isPrime(n)
if flag = 1 see n + " is a prime number" 
else see n + " is not a prime number" ok
 
func isPrime num
     if (num <= 1) return 0 ok
     if (num % 2 = 0 and num != 2) return 0 ok
     for i = 3 to floor(num / 2) -1 step 2
         if (num % i = 0) return 0 ok
