print prime numbers from 1 to 100 in python

In this post, we will learn how to print prime numbers in python from 1 to 100, 1 to n, and in a given interval but before we jump into a program let’s understand what is a prime number?

What is a prime number?

A natural number that is only divisible by 1 and itself is called a prime number.

For example: 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19….

Algorithm to Print Prime Numbers from 1 to 100

Step-1: iterate a for loop in range 2 to100 –> for i in range(2,101)

Step-2: inside the first loop create another for loop in the range 2 to 100 –> for j in range(2,101)

Step-3: check if i%j == 0 then break a loop (Because a number is not prime)

Step-4: step-3 implies that if a number i is not divisible by j then the program never enters in if-block, this means at the end of the second for-loop i == j

Step-5: if i == j then print i ( Because i is your prime number)

Now we understand what is prime number and how to implement a prime number program in python so now it’s time to do it practically.

1. Write a python program to print prime numbers from 1 to 100 using a for loop

Few concepts you know before writing this program such as

1. For loop
2. nested for loop
3. if-else

Source code:

for i in range(2,101):   # The range() function does not include the last number (the ending number). Only numbers from 2 to 100 are counted.
    for j in range(2,101):
        if i%j == 0:
            break
    if i == j:
        print(i,end=",")

Output:

2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71,73,79,83,89,97,

2. Write a python program to print prime numbers from 1 to 100 using a while loop

In the case of a while loop Above algorithm is used only syntax is changed.

Few concepts you know before writing this program such as

1. while loop
2. nested while loop
3. if-else

Source code:

i = 2

while i <= 100:
    j = 2
    while j < 100:
        if i%j == 0:
            break
        j += 1
    if i == j:
        print(i,end=',')
    i += 1

Output:

2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71,73,79,83,89,97,

3. Write a python program to print prime numbers from 1 to N using a for loop

NOTE: In this program, we will change only the user input num with the static value 101 of the above program.

Few concepts you know before writing this program such as

1. how to take user input
2. for loop
3. nested for loop
4. if-else

Source code:

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))
    
for i in range(2,num+1):
    for j in range(2,num+1):
        if i%j == 0:
            break
    if i == j:
        print(i,end=',')

Output:

Enter a number: 50
2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,

4. Write a python program to print prime numbers from 1 to N using a while loop

NOTE: In this program, we will change only the user input num with the static value 100 of the above program.

Few concepts you know before writing this program such as

1. how to take user input
2. while loop
3. nested while loop
4. if-else

Source code:

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))
i = 2

while i <= num:
    j = 2
    while j < num:
        if i%j == 0:
            break
        j += 1
    if i == j:
        print(i,end=',')
    i += 1

Output:

Enter a number: 70
2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,

5. write a python program to print prime numbers in a given range using a for loop

NOTE: In this program, we will change only the upper limit and lower limit of the range() function with user input.

Source code:

num1 = int(input("Enter a first number: ")) #lower limit
num2 = int(input("Enter a second number: ")) #upper limit

if num1<num2:
    for i in range(num1,num2+1):
        for j in range(2,num2+1):
            if i%j == 0:
                break
        if i == j:
            print(i,end=',')
else:
    print('invalid number!')

Output:

Enter a first number: 4
Enter a second number: 7
5,7,

6. write a python program to print prime numbers in a given range using a while loop

NOTE: In this program, we will change only the upper limit and lower limit of the while-loop with user input.

num1 = int(input("Enter a first number: ")) #lower limit
num2 = int(input("Enter a second number: ")) #upper limit

if num1<num2:
    while num1 <= num2:
        j = 2
        while j < num2:
            if num1%j == 0:
                break
            j += 1
        if num1 == j:
            print(num1,end=',')
        num1 += 1
else:
    print('invalid input')

Output:

Enter a first number: 9
Enter a second number: 19
11,13,17,19,

From all the above 6 programs we understand how to print prime number sequences.

This is a bonus for the prime number program.

Write a python program to create a list of prime numbers from 1 to N

Few concepts you know before writing this program such as

1. python list
2. function in python
3. for loop
4. nested for loop
5. if-else

Source code:

def prime_range(num):
    prime = []
    for i in range(2,num+1):
        for j in range(2,num+1):
            if i%j == 0:
                break
        if i == j:
            prime.append(i)
    return prime

number  = int(input('Enter a number: '))
print(prime_range(number))
print('sum of prime numbers',sum(prime_range(num= number)))

Output:

Enter a number: 20
[2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19]
sum of prime numbers 77
