C++ Tutorials - Absolute n00b spoonfeed

This program should do the following:

1-Have the user input a number.
2-Output whether or not the number is a prime.

HINT- Think of divisibility of the number by anything.

Here's my model of the program:

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
   
using namespace std;
   
int main(){
   
   long int number;
   cout << "This is a program that tells whether a number is prime or not." << endl;
   cout << "Enter the number: ";
   cin >> number;

   for (long int i = 2;i < number;i++) {
   
      long int test = number % i;

      if (test == 0) {
         cout << "This number is not a prime number." << endl;
         break;
      } else {
         if (i == number - 1 && test != 0) {
            cout << "This number is a prime number." << endl;
         } else {
         continue;
         }
      }
      
   }

   system("pause");
   return 0;
}   


Good luck.

I wrote half a paragraph but halfway through making a version I realized it weas the exact same as yours lol, I'll work on one later.
nice work
