I'm writing a program to calculate the number of prime numbers in a sequence. There's a variable called num that is given and then the program must calculate how many prime numbers there are from 2 (the smallest prime number) to num.
It should be something like that:
_________________________________________________
Enter a number greater than 1: 7
There are 4 prime numbers between 2 and 7.
__________________________________________________ _______________
This is because 2,3,5 and 7 are prime numbers, a total of 4 numbers.
The code below shows the variable num which is equal to 7, the main function calls isPrime (which says if a number is prime or not), then the way I thought about was using a for loop from 2 to num and check if each i is prime or not.
I don't know how to proceed from that. Please, could someone help?

If someone could help I would be glad.
