Q5: Java Program to find weather a number is prime or not

Prime Number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.
For example: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 19, 23, 29, etc.

class primeornot{
	public static void main(String args[]){
		boolean pr = false;
		int a = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
		for(int i=2; i<a; i++){
			if(a % i == 0){
				pr = false;
				break;
			}
			else
				pr = true;
		}
		if(pr==true)
			System.out.println(a + " is Prime.");
		else
			System.out.println(a + " is not Prime.");
	}
}
