The goal today is to write a function that returns the sum of all prime numbers up to a limit. We will do this in two steps: first we're going to write an isPrime function that checks wether or not a number is prime, and then the actual sumPrimes function.
Check if a number is prime
Write an isPrime function that takes an i32 number as parameter and returns true if this number is prime, false if it isn't.
Reminder: A prime number:
- Can only be divided by
1and itself - Is greater than
1
Write the isPrime function
Sum all primes
Write a sumPrimes function to sum all prime numbers up to the parameter limit included. Copy you isPrime function from the last assignment to make use of it
Write the sumPrimes function
