Question

Why this code that must find prime nubers from 3 to 100 includes 95 in the list? Please tell me what I'm doing wrong!!

Answer 1

I found your mistake, it's in line 14
You only set the divisor b to 2 if you found a prime number as it is inside the if block. You need to put the b = 2 back by 3 spaces to reset the divisor also after every no-prime number as well.

It starts at 93/30 with 93%30 = 0 and the b goes on with 31-95 but b has to be 5 to show that 95 is no prime number.

Hope you got me 😅

Looking into it...
Maybe try adding a 3rd variable? Maybe it'll work, maybe not. I've seen a lot with different methods, yours seems quite unique.
