Last update on December 20 2024 13:06:56 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a program in C to check whether a number is a Pronic Number or Heteromecic Number or not.

Sample Solution:

C Code:

# include <stdio.h>
# include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    int prno, i, n, flg;  // Variable declaration: prno is the input number, i is a loop variable, n is not used, flg is a flag for checking

    // Printing information about the program
    printf("\n\n Check whether a number is a Pronic Number or Heteromecic Number or not: \n");
    printf(" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------\n");

    // Asking user for input
    printf(" Input a number: ");
    scanf("%d", &prno);  // Reading input from user

    for (i = 1; i <= prno; i++)  // Loop to check for Pronic Number
    {
        if (i * (i + 1) == prno)  // Checking if 'prno' is a product of consecutive numbers
        {
            flg = 1;  // Setting flag to 1 if 'prno' is a Pronic Number
            break;    // Exiting the loop if condition is met
        }
    }

    if (flg == 1)  // Checking the flag value to determine if 'prno' is a Pronic Number
    {
        printf(" The given number is a Pronic Number.\n");  // Printing if 'prno' is a Pronic Number
    }
    else
    {
        printf(" The given number is not a Pronic Number.\n");  // Printing if 'prno' is not a Pronic Number
    }

    return 0;  // Returning 0 to indicate successful execution
}

Sample Output:

 Input a number: 132                                                                                          
 The given number is a Pronic Number.
