[Dipo Elegbede]

I was trying to write a code that prints prime numbers between 1 and 20.

I have by myself seen that something is wrong with my code and also my
brain.

Could anyone be kind enough to tell me what to do....

Where I am confused is how to test for other numbers without one and the
number itself. It turns out that all numbers pass the condition I set so
that would presuppose that all numbers are prime which is not.

How exactly can I get it to run checks with other numbers such that it
doesn't include the number itself and 1.

The code is as follows:

for i in range(1,20):

    if float(i) % 1 == 0 and float(i) % i == 0:
        print i, 'is a prime number'
