JavaScript Function: Exercise-12 with Solution

Write a JavaScript function that checks whether a number is perfect.

Note : According to Wikipedia : In number theory, a perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its proper positive divisors, that is, the sum of its positive divisors excluding the number itself (also known as its aliquot sum). Equivalently, a perfect number is a number that is half the sum of all of its positive divisors (including itself).
Example : The first perfect number is 6, because 1, 2, and 3 are its proper positive divisors, and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. Equivalently, the number 6 is equal to half the sum of all its positive divisors: ( 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 ) / 2 = 6. The next perfect number is 28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14. This is followed by the perfect numbers 496 and 8128.

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title>Find a perfect number</title>
</head>
<body>
  
</body>
</html>

JavaScript Code:

function is_perfect(number)
{
var temp = 0;
   for(var i=1;i<=number/2;i++)
     {
         if(number%i === 0)
          {
            temp += i;
          }
     }
   
     if(temp === number && temp !== 0)
        {
       console.log("It is a perfect number.");
        } 
     else
        {
       console.log("It is not a perfect number.");
        }   
 } 
is_perfect(28);

Sample Output:

It is a perfect number.
