Determining if a number is prime

Question

I have perused a lot of code on this topic, but most of them produce the numbers that are prime all the way up to the input number. However, I need code which only checks w

Answer 1

I came up with this:

int counter = 0;

bool checkPrime(int x) {
   for (int y = x; y > 0; y--){
      if (x%y == 0) {
         counter++;
      }
   }
   if (counter == 2) {
      counter = 0; //resets counter for next input
      return true; //if its only divisible by two numbers (itself and one) its a prime
   }
   else counter = 0;
        return false;
}
