How do I find the nearest prime number greater than the input? This is what I've managed to do so far...

function out = next_prime(X)
out = 0;
n = 0;
while out == isprime(X)
n = n + 1;
out = out + n + X;
end
end

You can complete your code with this method -
function out = next_prime(X)
out = X + 1; % Initialize the output as the next number after X
while ~isprime(out)
out = out + 1; % Increment the output by 1 until a prime number is found
end
end
