## What is `SymPy`?

**`SymPy`** is a library for symbolic mathematics in **Python**. 

We use **`pip`** to install `SymPy` with the following command:

```
pip install sympy
```

## The `prime` method

The **`prime`** method gets the `n`th prime number, starting with `2` as the first prime number. **`n`** must be a positive integer exclusive of zero (`0`), or else the method throws a `ValueError`. 

# 
## Syntax


```python
sympy.prime(n)
```

## Parameters

- **`n`**: It is the prime number that should be greater than 0.

## Return value

The method returns the `n`th prime number.


## Code

from sympy import prime

n = 5

print("prime(%s) = %s" % (n, prime(n)))

# 
## Code explanation

- Line 1: We import the `prime` function from the `SymPy` package.
- Line 3: We define `n`.
- Line 5: We get the `n`th prime number using the `prime(n)` function.
