We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in a number and the function establishes if the provided number is a semiprime or not.
Semiprime
A semiprime number is that number which is a special type of composite number that is a product of two prime numbers. For example: 6, 15, 10, 77 are all semiprime. The square of a prime number is also semiprime, like 4, 9, 25 etc.
Example
Following is the code to check semi-prime numbers −
const num = 141;
const checkSemiprime = num => {
let cnt = 0;
for (let i = 2; cnt < 2 && i * i <= num; ++i){
while (num % i == 0){
num /= i, ++cnt;
}
}
if (num > 1){
++cnt;
}
// Return '1' if count is equal to '2' else
// return '0'
return cnt === 2;
}
console.log(checkSemiprime(num));Output
Following is the output in the console −
true
