Solution to Day 7 of 7 Days of JS

When writing this solution, I realized that I needed a function that returns true if a number is prime. So I wrote that function first:

function isPrime(n){
  let i = 2, rem = true;
  while (i < n && rem){
    rem = rem && n % i != 0;
    i++;
  }
  return rem;
}

console.log(isPrime(17))

And once I had that, I was ready to write primesUntil, which you can see here:

function primesUntil(n){
  let x = 1, i = 0;
  while(i < n){
    x++;
    if (isPrime(x)){
      console.log(x);
      i++;
    }
  }
  return 'Those are the first ' + n + ' primes.'
}

console.log(primesUntil(5))

It’s possible to write both functions with for loops instead of while loops. If you are just starting out with loops in JavaScript, you should try to do that.
