Sum All Primes new

JavaScript

Hello!
I ask for your help.
Something I was stuck on the last test sumPrimes(977) should return 73156


function sumPrimes(num) {

  let total = 0;

  for (let p = 2; p < num; p++) {

          let folded = false;

      for (let divider = 2; divider < p; divider++) {

          let x = p / divider;

          if ((x ^ 0) === x) {
            folded = true;          
            continue;
          }
      }
            if (folded == false) {
              total += p;
        console.log("Primes " + p);
      }   

 
  }     

     console.log(total);

  return total;
}

sumPrimes(977);

It may be you are triggering the infine loop protection, and you need to refactor your code so that your loops need less time to execute, both your loops increment by one at a time and that may be a bit much to reach 977

Thanks for the advice. I’ll try to do it
