The goal today is to write a function that returns the sum of all prime numbers up to a limit. We will do this in two steps: first we're going to write an isPrime function that checks wether or not a number is prime, and then the actual sumPrimes function.
Check if a number is prime
Write an isPrime function that takes a number as parameter and returns true if this number is prime, false if it isn't.
Reminder: A prime number:
Can only be divided by 1 and itself
Is greater than 1
Sum all primes
Write a sumPrimes function to sum all prime numbers up to the parameter limitincluded. Copy you isPrime function from the last assignment to make use of it here.
