nextprime
The term "nextprime" in computer science and mathematics typically refers to a function or algorithm that, given an integer n, returns the smallest prime number strictly greater than n. This operation is fundamental in various areas, including cryptography, number theory algorithms, and certain optimization problems.
The implementation of a nextprime function usually involves two main steps: checking if the input number n+1
For instance, if the input is 7, the nextprime function would first check 8 (not prime), then
