So, with my program, I want to calculate prime numbers and would only like to see it come out with only one prime number. I tried to put it in a if statement at the end like "if (number_of_primes=number_tester) printf("%i/n", test_int)",
it did not work. and at it's current state it is calculating prime numbers, but it sometimes duplicates them. Also, this is in c programming.

`#include

#include<stdbool.h>
int main (void)
{ int number_tester, prime_number, div, number_of_primes, test_int;
printf("for which prime number do you want to know the value of?: ");
scanf("%i", &number_tester);
printf("Debug-> entered number = %i\n\n", number_tester);
prime_number=number_tester%div;
bool is_prime;
bool check_if_prime(int);
test_int=3;

if(number_tester==1)
{
printf("prime number is 2\n");
return 0;
}

for(number_of_primes=2; number_of_primes<=number_tester+1;)
{
for(div=2; div<=test_int; div++)
{
      if(test_int%div==0)
      {
      is_prime = false;
      break;
      }if(test_int%div>1)
      {is_prime = false;
      break;
      }
      if(test_int%div==1)
      {
      is_prime=true;
      number_of_primes++;
      printf("%i\n", test_int);
      continue;
      }
}
test_int++;
}
return 0;
}
