Question

A. The following code in the function "is_prime" attempts to examine a number and return whether the number is prime (i.e. it has no factors besides 1 and itself). It has a "Boolean Flag" called 'prime', however, the boolean logic is not implemented correctly, so the function won't always return the correct answer.

# This function determines whether an integer is prime.
def is_prime(n):
prime = True
for i in range(2, n):
if n2 % i == 0:
prime = False
else:
prime = true
return prime

In what cases does the function report an incorrect answer?
How can the code be fixed for it to always report the correct answer?

Write your answers as "comments" and the fixed code as a separate python file
