Question
6                                                                                                                             
[15]
Write  a menu driven program  to accept a number and check and display whether
it is a prime number or not OR an automorphic number or not.

only by 1 and itself and not by any other number. Example; 3,5,7,11,13..

in the last digit of the square. Example : 25 is an automorphic number as its
square is 625 and 25 is present as the last two digits.
 
Question
