Created by Jafar Mortadha

Given a vector a, which will always contain at least one pair of prime numbers couple, return a matrix called 'couple' in which each row contains one pair of prime couples. A prime number couple pair are two prime numbers with a difference of two between them. Keep in mind that the numbers 2, 3, 5, and 7 are prime numbers.

For example, if a=[1 2 3 6 11 13 101 103], the output should be couple=[11 13; 101 103].

Is there any particular reason why "1" should be a prime number? Since none of exampe in test suite pointing us to that direction. besides, I fail to figure out the necessity of that either.

Mathematically speaking, 1 is not a prime number. Primes are defined as number greater than 1. Also, the difference between 2 and 1 isn't two, so I don't see why [1 2] would be a valid output anyway.
