Finding the Next Prime Number in JavaScript

Are you struggling with JavaScript loops and want to find the next prime number after a specific input? You're not alone! Many beginners face challenges when trying to grasp loops and their applications in programming. In this guide, we’ll break down the process of writing a simple script that prompts the user for a number, then calculates and displays the next prime number greater than that input.

The Problem

The task is straightforward: When a user enters a number, the script should identify the smallest prime number that is greater than the given input. For instance, if the user inputs 20, the output should be 23, because 23 is the next prime number following 20.

Understanding Prime Numbers

Before we dive into the solution, let's clarify what a prime number is. A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that cannot be formed by multiplying two smaller natural numbers. In simple terms:

Prime Numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, etc.

Non-Prime Numbers: 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, etc.

Solution Overview

To solve the problem, we'll create two main functions:

isPrime(n): This function will check if a number n is prime.

nextPrime(N): This function will find the smallest prime number greater than N.

Step 1: The isPrime Function

The isPrime function checks if a number is prime using the following logic:

If the number is less than or equal to 1, it's not a prime.

If the number is less than or equal to 3, it's a prime.

For numbers greater than 3, we check divisibility using a loop.

Here’s the code for the isPrime function:

Step 2: The nextPrime Function

This function continuously checks each number starting from N + 1 until it finds a prime number:

Step 3: Putting It All Together

Now, all that’s left is to get user input and display the result. Here’s the driver code to prompt the user and log the result to the console:
