hey bros I don’t like this I am pretty sure there is an additional step being made which is not necessary and shouldn’t be there.
def is_prime(x):
if x < 2:
return False
else:
for n in range(2, x-1): #I MEAN THIS LINE RIGHT HERE
if x % n == 0:
return False
return True
print is_prime(13)
print is_prime(10)
Why is there the (-1) I don’t think it should be there. Or I am just tired and it still counts it from 0… like. Range(2)… 0, 1 and then stop at x-1 for instance 10 which would mean 9, numbers 2 to 9 that is… 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9… oh god damnit I see now, somebody please confirm I understand. Wait no need to I get it.

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me solve my code’s problem with the 9 (the print statements are only to verify answers as you can see). It doesn’t count 9 as a prime and I was wondering why. lately, I have been troubled by multiples and 9 appears to persist somehow.
