Research direction

Start in the Functions section's naming conventions guidance and compare the recommendation to prefix boolean-returning functions with check against the isPrime example. Review the surrounding documentation, make the convention consistent, and verify that the section no longer contradicts itself.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

in Functions section, exactly inside naming conventions, you recommend to prefix a function with check... if the function returns a true/false, yet in one of the examples, you named a function isPrime that returns true if a num is prime.
