why if else condition is not working inside for loop

var n=25;
for(i=2;i<n;i++){
    if(n%i==0){
       console.log('this is not prime');
       

    }
    else{
        console.log('this is prime');
    } 


}

Your code is not a MATLAB code

To do something like this in MATLAB

n = 25;
for i =1:n
    if(mod(n,i)==0)
        disp('this is not prime');
    else
        disp('this is prime');
    end
end

[Walter Roberson]

The if condition is working the way you programmed it.

If you want to test for something being prime, you need to test for all of the non-prime possibilities first, and you should only display that the number is prime after you have finished ruling out the possibility of a divisor.
