It's been a fat minute since I last did any programming outside of batch scripts and AHK... I'm struggling to understand how it's not returning false for 100% of the tests

It is always returning false, but the screen shows a test, where a non-prime evaluating as false is a pass and a prime evaluating as false is a fail :))

The output shown is the result of a test for the function, not the result of the function itself.

Ooooh I see lol. Thank you!

It's returning false for all the tests, but it only should be returning false for 95% of them, as 5% are prime.
