C Program to Check if Nth Fibonacci Number is Prime
This C program calculates the Nth Fibonacci number and checks whether it is a prime number using separate functions for Fibonacci generation and prime checking.
Concept Overview
The Fibonacci series is a sequence where each number is the sum of the previous two. Prime numbers are numbers greater than 1 that have no divisors other than 1 and themselves. This program combines both concepts to check if a particular Fibonacci term is prime.

Explanation
- `is_fib_prime(int n)` – Finds the nth Fibonacci number and checks if it is prime.
- `fibonacciNumber(int n)` – Generates the Fibonacci number using iteration.
- `isPrime(int num)` – Checks if the given number is prime by counting its divisors.
- If the count of divisors equals 2, the number is prime; otherwise, it’s not.
