displaying the first n prime numbers

Clos (12)
hello i am stuck and need some help. I am trying to make it so it displays the first n prime numbers (starting with 2 and n being user input)to the console but I'm only getting the range 2 through n and i can't seem to figure out how to change it.

code is as follows:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
26
 
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int main() {
int num,i,count,n,isPrime;
cout << "Enter a Number between 30 and 2000: ";
cin >> n;
count=0;
for(num = 1; count<=n; num++){
isPrime = 0;
count++;
for(i=2;i<=num/2;i++){
if(num%i==0){
isPrime++;
break;
}
}

if(isPrime==0 && num!= 1)
cout << num << endl;
}


return 0;
}

currently I'm only getting the range. so for example if i put 32 i get primes in the range 2-32. i need the first 32 prime numbers.
