  7. Is Prime Script
  8.  
  9. This script checks whether a user-input number is a prime number or a negative prime.
  10. Negative primes are prime numbers that are less than zero. They have the same properties as positive primes but with a negative sign. Examples include -2, -3, -5, 7... etc.
  11. It utilizes a function, is_prime, to perform the prime number check.
  12.  
  13. Requirements:
  14. - Python 3
  15.  
  16. Usage:
  17. 1. Run the script.
  18. 2. Enter a number when prompted.
  19. 3. The script will display whether the entered number is a prime number, a
  20.   negative prime, or not prime.
