Recursive program for prime number

Given a number n, check whether it’s prime number or not using recursion.
Examples: 

Input : n = 11
Output : Yes

Input : n = 15
Output : No

The idea is based on school method to check for prime numbers.

C++

// CPP Program to find whether a Number
// is Prime or Not using Recursion
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Returns true if n is prime, else
// return false.
// i is current divisor to check.
bool isPrime(int n, int i = 2)
{
    // Base cases
    if (n <= 2)
        return (n == 2) ? true : false;
    if (n % i == 0)
        return false;
    if (i * i > n)
        return true;

    // Check for next divisor
    return isPrime(n, i + 1);
}

// Driver Program
int main()
{
    int n = 15;
    if (isPrime(n))
        cout << "Yes";
    else
        cout << "No";

    return 0;
}

Java

// java Program to find whether a Number
// is Prime or Not using Recursion
import java.util.*;

class GFG {

    // Returns true if n is prime, else
    // return false.
    // i is current divisor to check.
    static boolean isPrime(int n, int i)
    {

        // Base cases
        if (n <= 2)
            return (n == 2) ? true : false;
        if (n % i == 0)
            return false;
        if (i * i > n)
            return true;

        // Check for next divisor
        return isPrime(n, i + 1);
    }

    // Driver program to test above function
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        int n = 15;

        if (isPrime(n, 2))
            System.out.println("Yes");
        else
            System.out.println("No");
    }
}
