Finding prime factors

Question

#include 
using namespace std;

void whosprime(long long x)
{
    bool imPrime = true;

    for(int i = 1; i <= x; i++)
    {
        for(int z =

Here is my code that worked pretty well to find the largest prime factor of any number:

#include 
using namespace std;

// --> is_prime <--
// Determines if the integer accepted is prime or not
bool is_prime(int n){
    int i,count=0;
    if(n==1 || n==2)
      return true;
    if(n%2==0)
      return false;
    for(i=1;i<=n;i++){
    if(n%i==0)
        count++;
    }
    if(count==2)
      return true;
    else
      return false;
 }
 // --> nextPrime <--
 // Finds and returns the next prime number
 int nextPrime(int prime){
     bool a = false;
     while (a == false){
         prime++;
         if (is_prime(prime))
            a = true;
     }
  return prime;
 }
 // ----- M A I N ------
 int main(){

      int value = 13195;
      int prime = 2;
      bool done = false;

      while (done == false){
          if (value%prime == 0){
             value = value/prime;
             if (is_prime(value)){
                 done = true;
             }
          } else {
             prime = nextPrime(prime);
          }
      }
        cout << "Largest prime factor: " << value << endl;
 }

Keep in mind that if you want to find the largest prime factor of extremely large number, you have to use 'long' variable type instead of 'int' and tweak the algorithm to process faster.
