Problem 45 Project Euler Solution with python

Triangular, pentagonal, and hexagonal

Triangle, pentagonal, and hexagonal numbers are generated by the following formulae:
Triangle Tn=n(n+1)/2 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, ...
Pentagonal Pn=n(3n−1)/2 1, 5, 12, 22, 35, ...
Hexagonal Hn=n(2n−1) 1, 6, 15, 28, 45, ...
It can be verified that T285 = P165 = H143 = 40755.
Find the next triangle number that is also pentagonal and hexagonal.


A very easy problem if you know the condition to check if the given number is Pentagonal Number and Hexagonal Number. We have used while loop to arrive at the solution.

There is no big algorithm used in this program. You can go see the program and understand it simply.

Program

You can download the above source code from Github Gist pep45.py

Output

Summary

It just took a few seconds for me to write the program. I am satisfied with the solution. I have not tried to optimize the code to improve the performance because the program is very fast anyways. I think there is some scope to improve the present solution. You can improve the program if you want to. Please do share it with me if you have written a new solution.

As always you can comment in the comment box below if you have any doubt or didn't understand anything. I will be glad to help you.

Please do comment in the comment box below if you have found any typo or have a different program or a better program or have any suggestion. I will be very happy to view each of them.

You can also contact me.

Thank you. Have a nice day😃!

Project Euler Problem 62 solution with python

Cubic permutations ¶ The cube, 41063625 (3453), can be permuted to produce two other cubes: 56623104 (3843) and 66430125 (4053). In fact, 41063625 is the smallest cube which has exactly three permutations of its digits which are also cube. Find the smallest cube for which exactly five permutations of its digits are cube.

Add/Embed SVG to Blogger website

In this post I will tell you my method(trick) of adding SVG images in a blogger website or blog. Before starting , the first thin g I am assu m ing is that you are aware of SVG if you are here. If not please see S calable V ec tor G raphics Recently when I tried to embed a SVG image for a post on pygal, I tried uploading the SVG file and blogger Image uploader came up with an error, because of which I had to find some other way.  SVG File upload Error in Blogger  I started sea rc hing Google " Embed SVG in Blogger " . I found blogorrhea , w h ich gave some i nformatio n on add ing SVG directly as a markup , which worked , but I faced another problem using this . Also th is guy has used lot of Javascript which was confusin g for me, being new to using SVG.   So I first t houg ht of learning on h ow to embed SVG in HTML and t his on e worked out. Actually we can embed SVG in HTML i n following ways: Using Object tag Using Iframe tag Using embed...
