Prime numbers
A prime number is a number divisable by 1 and itself. That’s it! There’s nothing more to it. There might be if you want it to be, but that’s the basic of prime numbers. “How come people often talk about them”, the simpleton asks. Fear not, allow the intellectual to answer.
It seems the intellectual did not respond. Allow me to take a stab at it.
But all of that yapping is simply to get to the actual content of the post. I want to see in how many programming languages can I write an isPrime function! With that knowledge, welcome to the abyss as we dive into all sorts of programming languages trying to discover a prime!
Criteria
Each language must display the output of some isPrime function with an input value of 911. For most languages the output will be:
1
isPrime(911) = True
Later on I want to link a website where the specific piece of code can be executed directly. It should be a copy and paste and work as is!
