Pointer-Prime Number is a prime number p such that the next prime after p can be obtained from p by adding the product of the digits of p.
Some Pointer primes are:
23, 61, 1123, 1231, 1321, 2111, 2131, 11261….
Check if N is a Pointer prime number
Given a number N, the task is to check if N is a Pointer-Prime Number or not. If N is a Pointer-Prime Number then print “Yes” else print “No”.
Examples:
Input: N = 23
Output: Yes
Explanation:
23 + product of digits of 23 = 29,
which is the next prime after 23.
Input: N = 29
Output: No
Approach: :
- Find the product of digits of N
- Then, find the next prime number to N
- Now if N is prime and N + product of digits of N equals next prime to N, then print “Yes” else print “No”.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
