What we have learnt

  • A prime number is only divisible by 1 and itself.
  • Functions can be used to break down complex problems into simpler, manageable parts.
  • The while loop is useful when the number of iterations is not predetermined.

Key Concepts

-- Factors
The numbers that divide another number without leaving a remainder.
-- Prime Number
A number that has no divisors other than 1 and itself.
-- Algorithm
A set procedure or formula for solving a problem.
-- For Loop
A control flow statement that allows code to be executed repeatedly based on a boolean condition.
-- While Loop
A control flow statement that executes a block of code as long as its condition evaluates to true.
