How do I rewrite this so that it just skips to the next value of i instead?

[thedinosoar]

I made a piece of code to check if a number was prime, which originally used manual inputs, but I changed it because I didn’t want to give myself carpal tunnel. How do I get it to skip to the next value instead of stopping the script?

Hi, welcome to Snap!!

One thing you can do is use the FOR block:

Well, first of all, you should learn to love procedures (custom blocks). So if your goal is

to check if a number was prime

then you should make a predicate block that takes one number as input:

Then you can use that block in a calling script that looks at several numbers:

… or whatever you want to do with a prime number instead of SAY it, e.g., ADD it to a list.

There are lots of ways you could speed this up, e.g., just check for divisors up to \sqrt{number}, or even just check the divisors you already know are prime.
