When I run this code and give input as 25 it should return me its not a prime num, But when I debug the code the range values are not iterating into if condition, only the first value of the range is passed and if its not == 0 it moves to the else part.
def find(x):
if x > 1:
for i in range(2,x):
if x % i == 0:
return "its not a prime num"
else:
return "Its a prime num"
user = int(input("Enter your no: "))
print(find(user))
Please help me why its working like this , I am new to programming . TIA

As stated in a comment, this is an easy fix. Simply move the else
statement's return
to outside of the loop.
def find(x):
if x > 1:
for i in range(2,x):
if x % i == 0:
return "its not a prime num"
return "Its a prime num"
user = int(input("Enter your no: "))
print(find(user))

Using a return
inside of a loop will break it and exit the function even if the iteration is still not finished. use print
instead.
