| 3 | +```python |
| 4 | +def is_prime(number): |
| 5 | + if number <= 1: |
| 6 | + return False # Numbers less than or equal to 1 are not prime |
| 7 | + # Check divisibility up to the square root of the number |
| 8 | + for i in range(2, int(number ** 0.5) + 1): |
| 9 | + if number % i == 0: # If number is divisible by i, it's not prime |
| 10 | + return False |
| 11 | + return True # If no divisors were found, the number is prime |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +# Example usage: |
| 15 | +num = int(input("Enter a number: ")) |
| 16 | +if is_prime(num): |
| 17 | + print(f"{num} is a prime number.") |
| 18 | +else: |
| 19 | + print(f"{num} is not a prime number.") |

| 22 | +## JavaScript implementation |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +```javascript |
| 25 | +function isPrime(number) { if (number <= 1) { |
| 26 | + return false; // Numbers less than or equal to 1 are not prime |
| 27 | + } |
| 28 | + for (let i = 2; i <= Math.sqrt(number); i++) { // Check divisibility up to the square root of the number |
| 29 | + if (number % i === 0) { |
| 30 | + return false; // If number is divisible by i, it's not prime |
| 31 | + } |
| 32 | + } |
| 33 | + return true; // If no divisors are found, the number is prime |
| 34 | +} |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +// Example usage: |
| 37 | +let num = parseInt(prompt("Enter a number:")); |
| 38 | +if (isPrime(num)) { |
| 39 | + console.log(num + " is a prime number."); |
| 40 | +} else { |
| 41 | + console.log(num + " is not a prime number."); |
| 42 | +} |
| 43 | +``` |
| 44 | +## Explanation |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +The Python implementation uses a function named `is_prime` that takes a single argument `number`. It returns `True` if the number is prime otherwise, it returns `False`. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +The JavaScript implementation uses a function named `is_Prime` that also takes a single argument `number`. It returns `true` if the number is prime (using the same logic as the Python function) and `false` otherwise. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +Both implementations uses `num` and the strings: `"Enter a number"`,`"is a prime number"`&`"is not a prime number"` in the |
| 51 | +code. |
| 52 | +Both implementations uses `if`, `else`, `for` and `return` to make the code function correclty. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +### Differences |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +1. **Syntax**: |
| 57 | + - In Python, functions are defined using the `def` keyword, whereas in JavaScript, the `function` keyword is used. |
| 58 | + - Python uses `True` and `False` for boolean values, while JavaScript uses `true` and `false`. |
| 59 | + - Python uses `int (input())` to allow the integer input, while JavaScript uses `parseIn(prompt())`. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +2. **Type Coercion**: |
| 62 | + - JavaScript has type coercion, which can sometimes lead to unexpected results if the input is not properly handled. In contrast, Python is more strict with types. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +3. **Function Calls**: |
| 65 | + - The syntax for calling functions and printing to the console/output is slightly different. Python uses `print()`, while JavaScript uses `console.log()`. |
