Here is what I have so far. I need to specifically add a loop and a counter for the program to print out the first 50 prime numbers. I know I need to get rid of the initial input but I am confused on how to add in the loop and a counter to check and see how many primes I have. Any info would help greatly, I am totally new to programming.

num = int(input("enter a number: "))

primeFlag = True
n = 2
for n in range(2,num):
    if (num % n == 0):
        primeFlag = False

if primeFlag:
    print(" %d is prime" % num)

print("Prime numbers: ")
total = 0
i = 2
while True:
    for j in range(2, i):
        if i % j == 0:
            break
    else:
        total += 1
        print(i)
        if total == 50:
            break
    i += 1

print("Total :", total)

try this code.

Output:

Prime numbers:

You can create a counter i and increase it by one (i += 1) when primeFlag is true, when you print.
