About this program

This is an example program in c common example program. Read the concept first: C++ Variables and Data Types, then study the code and output below.

Definition:

A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.

for example,

5 is prime, as only 1 and 5 divide it.

    cin>>n;

    cout << "List Of Prime Numbers Below " << n << endl;

    //for Loop Block For Find Prime Number

    for (int i = 2; i < n; i++)
        for (int j = 2; j * j <= i; j++) {
            if (i % j == 0)
