JavaScript: Pronic number
JavaScript Math: Exercise-72 with Solution
Write a JavaScript program to check if a given number is pronic using the product of two consecutive numbers. If the number is pronic return true otherwise false.
From Wikipedia –
A pronic number is a number that is the product of two consecutive integers, that is, a number of the form n(n+1). The study of these numbers dates back to Aristotle. They are also called oblong numbers, heteromecic numbers, or rectangular numbers; however, the term "rectangular number" has also been applied to the composite numbers.
The first few pronic numbers are:
0, 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, 42, 56, 72, 90, 110, 132, 156, 182, 210, 240, 272, 306, 342, 380, 420, 462 ...
Sample Data:
6 -> true
110 -> true
200 -> false
Sample Solution:
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>JavaScript Pronic number</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
JavaScript Code:
const is_Pronic = (n) => {
if (n === 0) {
return true
}
const sqrt = Math.sqrt(n)
return sqrt % 1 !== 0 && Math.ceil(sqrt) * Math.floor(sqrt) === n
}
console.log(is_Pronic(6))
console.log(is_Pronic(110))
console.log(is_Pronic(200))
Sample Output:
true true false
