Thanks for alll the feedback. I also needed to correct a logic issue with this code to check that a number not be divisible by 2 as my function was stating all perfect powers of 2 were prime. I need to remeber as I move from other languages the difference between = and ==. Of course I will be more careful about this next time.

But why?  According to the manual, the modulus operator has precedence
over the equals!

Must be a bug... parenthesis will help to not find the bug :)
