PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol ";" when expecting one of the following:
if

The problem is that the else and if are two operators here. Since you open a new 'if' you need a corresponding 'end if'.
Thus:
declare
mark number :=50;
begin
mark :=& mark;
if (mark between 85 and 100) then
dbms_output.put_line('mark is A ');
else
if (mark between 50 and 65) then
dbms_output.put_line('mark is D ');
else
if (mark between 66 and 75) then
dbms_output.put_line('mark is C ');
else
if (mark between 76 and 84) then
dbms_output.put_line('mark is B');
else
dbms_output.put_line('mark is F');
end if;
end if;
end if;
end if;
end;
/
Alternatively you can use elsif:
declare
mark number :=50;
begin
mark :=& mark;
if (mark between 85 and 100)
then
dbms_output.put_line('mark is A ');
elsif (mark between 50 and 65) then
dbms_output.put_line('mark is D ');
elsif (mark between 66 and 75) then
dbms_output.put_line('mark is C ');
elsif (mark between 76 and 84) then
dbms_output.put_line('mark is B');
else
dbms_output.put_line('mark is F');
end if;
end;
/

The IF statement has these forms in PL/SQL:
IF THEN
IF THEN ELSE
IF THEN ELSIF
You have used elseif which in terms of PL/SQL is wrong. That need to be replaced with ELSIF.
DECLARE
mark NUMBER :=50;
BEGIN
mark :=& mark;
IF (mark BETWEEN 85 AND 100) THEN
dbms_output.put_line('mark is A ');
elsif (mark BETWEEN 50 AND 65) THEN
dbms_output.put_line('mark is D ');
elsif (mark BETWEEN 66 AND 75) THEN
dbms_output.put_line('mark is C ');
elsif (mark BETWEEN 76 AND 84) THEN
dbms_output.put_line('mark is B');
ELSE
dbms_output.put_line('mark is F');
END IF;

PL/SQL Conditional Statement

You can simplify the code to use a single DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE statement if you use a CASE expression:
DECLARE
stock_rec stock%ROWTYPE;
var_company stock.company%TYPE := 'IBM';
BEGIN
SELECT *
INTO stock_rec
FROM stock
WHERE company = var_company;
DBMS_PUTPUT.PUT_LINE(
CASE
WHEN stock_rec.price < 45
THEN 'Current price is very low !'
WHEN stock_rec.price < 55
THEN 'Current price is low !'
WHEN stock_rec.price < 65
THEN 'Current price is medium !'
WHEN stock_rec.price < 75
THEN 'Current price is medium high !'
WHEN stock_rec.price >= 75
THEN 'Current price is high !'
ELSE NULL

In other words, that section is missing an end if. That's why, when you finish your file on line 25 with end, it complains about not having an if after it (to make end if).
Just whack an end if immediately following line 19 and that should fix it.
That should fix your immediate problem but I have a couple of quick comments as well.
if you use for i in 2..n loop (start at 2 instead of 1), and test counter being greater than 1 (instead of equal to 2), that should save some work. mod(n,1) is zero for all n.
in any case, the original test should have been for greater than 2, not equal: the number 12 would have given you a counter of 5 (one each for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6) and so would be considered non-prime.
for efficiency, you should remember that you only ever have to check up to trunc(sqrt(n))+1 (or the equivalent in whatever language you're using) since, if a number higher than that is a factor, you would have found its pair already: 12 mod 4 is zero but you've already found its pair of 3 (12 mod (12/4) is zero).
make sure that the 2..n does not include n since the mod operation there will also increment counter (I don't know how your specific language handles that loop construct) - it may have to be 2..n-1.
I think you're looking for the PL/SQL ELSIF keyword. I took your code, replaced
else if n=2
on line 11 with
elsif n=2
and it worked.
For every IF we should close it by using END IF;
But when we use ELSEIF one is enough.
IF
......
ELSEIF
......
END IF;
or
IF
......
ELSE IF
.......
END IF;
END IF;
1) You need a semicolon after the final end at line 25. 2) Then you get another error, (See note 1 below) and need to correct with by substituting elsif for else if at line 11. 3) Finaly, 1 not being prime, line 10 needs correction also, then dbms_output.put_line('1 is neither prime nor composite.); So the corrected code is:
