The problem

You are given a 0-indexed two-dimensional integer array nums. Return the largest prime number that lies on at least one of the diagonals of nums.

Example

Input
nums = [[1,2,3],[5,6,7],[9,10,11]]
Output
11
Explanation
The numbers 1, 3, 6, 9, and 11 are the only numbers present on at least one of the diagonals. Since 11 is the largest prime, we return 11.

Python solution

Python
class Solution:
    def diagonalPrime(self, nums: List[List[int]]) -> int:
        def is_prime(x: int) -> bool:
            if x < 2:
                return False
            return all(x % i for i in range(2, int(sqrt(x)) + 1))

        n = len(nums)
        ans = 0
        for i, row in enumerate(nums):
            if is_prime(row[i]):
                ans = max(ans, row[i])
            if is_prime(row[n - i - 1]):
                ans = max(ans, row[n - i - 1])
        return ans
