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.
