instead of exit I can use break so that the loop will stop executing> 2. What is 'number -
math.sqrt'?for math.sqrt I could use math.sqrt(n) so that it would take the sqrt of nwhich is entered in by the userHowever for the output I am still receivingenter a numbe

for value in range(2, number-math.sqrt):
if number % value
12 matches
