I try to find the closest prime number less than or larger than the given number using batch macros

not batch macro, iterative macro

Really fun challenge! I will say that the macro I built will always favour the higher number if there are prime numbers equidistant from the inputted number e.g. if the user enters 4 then it will return 5 rather than 3.
