I don't know how to make return a statement return a value inside the scope of a for statement
public static String betweenPrime(int num1, int num2) { for(int i = num1; i<num2; i++){ numbers += ""; if(isPrime(i)) { numbers += i + ", "; } } return numbers; }
I want to make a list of primes in between two numbers but I don't know how to return the answer, I am making this in the main class and it doesn't have a class, is there another way to do it, thanks.

public static List<int> betweenPrime() {}
Then you would need to instantiate a new empty list. Then inside your for loop, you could append the result to your list and return the list afterward.
Also, check Markdown Cheatsheet to see how to get your code more readable.
Hope this helps!
