What is wrong with my code(what should be there for negative exponents)[N.B.:you can't use power function.]

#include <iostream> int is_prime(); using namespace std; int main() { int num; cin >> num; // Reading input from STDIN for(int i=2;i*i<=num;i++){ if(is_prime(i)==1) { cout<<i<<" "; } return 0; } int is_prime(int x){ for(int i=2;i*i<=x;i++){ if(i%x==0) return 1; else return 0; } }

According to your code logic, it prints whatever number which isn't prime. Also, your function prototype signature does not tally with the definition. int is_prime(int); The way the braces are placed is also wrong. The loop condition in main is wrong. The return statement in the function which checks for prime is also wrong.

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int is_prime(int); int main() { int num; cin >> num; for(int i=2; i <= num; i++) if(is_prime(i)) cout<<i<<" "; return 0; } int is_prime(int x) { for(int i=2;i*i<=x;i++) if(x%i==0) return 0; return 1; }
