## Java implementation
2+
3+
```Java
4+
static boolean isPrimeNumber(int number){
5+
int zeroRemainderCount=0;
6+
for(int i=1; i <= number; i++){
7+
if(number % i == 0) zeroRemainderCount++;
8+
}
9+
10+
return zeroRemainderCount == 2 ? true : false;
11+
}
12+
13+
# Example usage:
14+
System.out.println(isPrimeNumber(7)) # Output: true
15+
System.out.println(isPrimeNumber(12)) # Output: false
16+
```
17+
18+
## JavaScript implementation
19+
20+
```javascript
21+
function isPrimeNumber(number){
22+
let zeroRemainderCount = 0;
23+
for(i=0; i<=number; i++){
24+
if(number % i === 0) zeroRemainderCount++;
25+
}
26+
return (zeroRemainderCount === 2) ? true : false;
27+
}
28+
29+
// Example usage:
30+
console.log(isPrimeNumber(11)); // Output: true
31+
console.log(isPrimeNumber(81)); // Output: false
32+
```
33+
34+
## Explanation
35+
36+
The Java implementation uses a function named `isPrimeNumber` that takes a single argument `number`. It returns `true` if the number is prime (e.g, when the zero remainder count of the division of the number by numbers between 1 and itself is two), otherwise, it returns `false`.
37+
38+
The JavaScript implementation uses a function named `isPrimeNumber` that also takes a single argument `number`. It returns `true` if the number is prime (using the same logic as the Java function) and `false` otherwise.
39+
40+
### Improvement in the Function Implementation:
41+
For large numbers, it will be reasonable to exit the loop once the zero remainder count reaches a value of 3.
42+
43+
### Differences
44+
45+
1. **Syntax**:
46+
- In Java, functions are defined by specifying the function name which is preceeded by the return type i.e `boolean isPrimeNumber`, whereas in JavaScript, the `function` keyword preeceds the function name i.e `boolean isPrimeNumber`.
47+
48+
The loop variable `i` was initialize with a value 0 that is type-annotated `int` in Java implementation. However, in JavaScript implementation, the variable `i` was not type-annotated.
49+
50+
2. **Equality Check**:
51+
- Java uses `double equal sign (==)` to test equality whereas JavaScript uses `tripple equal sign (===)` to test equality.
52+
53+
3. **Function Calls**:
54+
- The syntax for calling functions and printing to the console/output is slightly different. Java uses `System.out.println() or System.out.print()`, while JavaScript uses `console.log()`.
