In this program, I use the Select Case And Select statement to determine whether a number entered by a user is a prime number or not.
Case 1- all numbers that are less tha 2 are prime.
Case 2, if the number is 2, it is a prime number. In the last case, if the number N is more than 2, I need to divide this number by all the numbers from 3,4,5,6,........up to N-1, if it can be divided by any of these numbers, it is not a prime number, otherwise it is a prime number. I use a Do......Loop While statement to control the program flow. Here I also used a tag="Not Prime' to identify the number that is not prime, so that when the routine exits the loop, the label will display the correct answer.
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim N, D As Single
Dim tag As String
N = Val(TxtNumber.Text)
Select Case N
Case Is < 2
Lbl_Answer.Caption = "It is not a prime number"
Case Is = 2
Lbl_Answer.Caption = "It is a prime number"
Case Is > 2
D = 2
Do
If N / D = Int(N / D) Then
Lbl_Answer.Caption = "It is not a prime number"
tag = "Not Prime"
Exit Do
End If
D = D + 1
Loop While D <= N - 1
If tag <> "Not Prime" Then
Lbl_Answer.Caption = "It is a prime number"
End If
End Select
End Sub
Dim N, D As Single
Dim tag As String
N = Val(TxtNumber.Text)
Select Case N
Case Is < 2
Lbl_Answer.Caption = "It is not a prime number"
Case Is = 2
Lbl_Answer.Caption = "It is a prime number"
Case Is > 2
D = 2
Do
If N / D = Int(N / D) Then
Lbl_Answer.Caption = "It is not a prime number"
tag = "Not Prime"
Exit Do
End If
D = D + 1
Loop While D <= N - 1
If tag <> "Not Prime" Then
Lbl_Answer.Caption = "It is a prime number"
End If
End Select
End Sub
