Beh, any real programmer would write it like this:
int primes[] = {2,3,5,...133};
const int* end = primes + sizeof(primes)/sizeof(int);
return (std::find(primes, end, num) != end);
And any real engineer would build something like this: :D
bool IsPrime(int i)
{
if (i<2)
return false;
if (i == 2)
return true;
if (i%2 == 1)
// All odd numbers are prime:
// 3 ... prime
// 5 ... prime
// 7 ... prime
// 9 ... measuring fault
// 11... prime
// 13... prime
// and so on...
return true;
else
return false;

as an assignment, i asked for a program that we've all been through, a function that returns weather or not a given number is prime. in one case, i was given the following :
if(num== 1 || num== 2 || num== 3 || num== 5 || num== 7 || num== 11 || num== 13 || num== 17 || num== 19 || num== 23 || num== 29 || num== 31 || num== 37 || num== 41 || num== 43 || num== 47 || num== 53 || num== 59 || num== 61 || num== 67 || num== 71 || num== 73 || num== 79 || num== 83 || num== 89 || num== 97 || num== 101 || num== 103 || num== 107 || num== 109 || num== 113)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}when i asked him why he stopped at 113 (since it was the only thing i thought of asking) he said, in a tired voice, "I couldn't think of any more numbers" do you, or do you not feel sorry for him?

The guy is hidden a genious! He calculated the prime numbers up to 113 without assistance! I would have stopped at 19... :-)

I do kinda feel sorry for him. I hope you crushed his dreams of being a programmer.

13 is considered bad unlucky number. Is 113 fall under this category also? :-D

And, in addition to being very limited in the range of input values, the result isn't correct, either. <SmartassMode> 1 is not a prime number, by definition. </SmartassMode> ;P

Should have told him he has to use this list: The first 10000 prime numbers[^]

And any of the following things would have happened for sure: 1) Typing the if-else clause for 10000 numbers, he would broken the keyboard. 2) Typing the if-else clause for 10000 numbers, he would have broken down and ambulance should have been requested. It is an unnecessary headache, at least in this case right?
