This is checked so that we can skip middle five numbers in below loop
if ( n % 2 == 0 or n % 3 == 0 ) : NEW_LINE INDENT return False NEW_LINE DEDENT i = 5 NEW_LINE while ( i * i <= n ) : NEW_LINE INDENT if ( n % i == 0 or n % ( i + 2 ) == 0 ) : NEW_LINE INDENT return False NEW_LINE DEDENT i += 6 NEW_LINE DEDENT return True NEW_LINE
