Check Prime number using C function.

A prime number is a positive integer which is divisible only by 1 and itself. For example: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13


#include <stdio.h>
int checkPrime(int number);

int main()
{
    int n, flag;

    printf("Enter a positive integer: ");
    scanf("%d",&n);
if(n <= 0)
{
printf("Enter positive number only.");
exit(0);
}
//Function call...
flag = checkPrime(n);    

    if (flag==1)
        printf("%d is a prime number.",n);
    else
        printf("%d is not a prime number.",n);
    return 0;
}
//Function to check prime number int checkPrime(int number)
{
int i, flag=1;
for(i=2; i<=number/2; ++i)
    {
        //checks nonprime number
        if(number%i==0)
        {
            flag=0;
            break;
        }
    }
return(flag);
}
