Trying to find the next prime number

[FirstBornAlbratross]

Hi all,

My exercise for today (not for school) is for the user to enter a number and then I have to find the next prime number and print it.

This is what I've got so far (it doesn't work):

def nextPrime():
    num = int(input("Enter a number: "))
    
    next_num = num + 1
    
    while True:
        for i in range(2, next_num):
            if (next_num % i) == 0:
                next_num += 1
            else:
                break
                print(f"The next prime number is {next_num}.")
                
nextPrime()

I thought my logic was good, but apparently not. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Edit: I don't know how to make my code more readable on this site. Does anyone know?
