Find a prime number

[bam207]

How would one use java to find the next greatest prime number based on a long using only primitive data types, and static methods of the math class?
Thank you.

Why don't you give it a try, and if you have issues with the implementation then you can come back here and ask more specific questions that we can then answer.

How would you do this with a pen and paper? You first need to have an algorithm before you think about data types and static methods...write out how you would do this by hand in a stepwise process - that's your algorithm. Once you have that you will be much better suited to think about how to write code to implement the algorithm.
