The answer to this is 19 17 13 11 7 5, but how does the answer come to be? I am not sure why the output is that, would someone be able to explain why?

It gets the prime numbers between 5 and 20 and sequentially prepends them to a linked list, then traverses that list, thus printing them in decreasing order.
