About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

isSquareTriangularNumber

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Test if a value is a square triangular number.

A square triangular number is an integer value which is both a square number and a triangular number.

Triangular numbers can be computed using the following formula

$$T_n = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}$$

for n >= 0.

By analogy with the square root of x, one can define the positive triangular root of x such that T_n = x

$$n = \frac{\sqrt{8x+1} - 1}{2}$$

Accordingly, an integer x is a triangular number if and only if 8x+1 is a square number.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/assert-is-square-triangular-number

Alternatively,

  • To load the package in a website via a script tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on the esm branch (see README).
  • If you are using Deno, visit the deno branch (see README for usage intructions).
  • For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the umd branch (see README).

The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.

To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

Usage

var isSquareTriangularNumber = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-square-triangular-number' );

isSquareTriangularNumber( value )

Tests if a value is a square triangular number.

var Number = require( '@stdlib/number-ctor' );

var bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( 36.0 );
// returns true

bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( new Number( 36.0 ) );
// returns true

bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( 3.14 );
// returns false

bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( -5.0 );
// returns false

bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( NaN );
// returns false

bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( null );
// returns false

isSquareTriangularNumber.isPrimitive( value )

Tests if a value is a primitive square triangular number.

var Number = require( '@stdlib/number-ctor' );

var bool = isSquareTriangularNumber.isPrimitive( 36.0 );
// returns true

bool = isSquareTriangularNumber.isPrimitive( new Number( 36.0 ) );
// returns false

isSquareTriangularNumber.isObject( value )

Tests if a value is a Number object having a value which is a square triangular number.

var Number = require( '@stdlib/number-ctor' );

var bool = isSquareTriangularNumber.isObject( 36.0 );
// returns false

bool = isSquareTriangularNumber.isObject( new Number( 36.0 ) );
// returns true

Notes

  • Return values are not reliable for numbers greater than 1125899906842624.

Examples

var Number = require( '@stdlib/number-ctor' );
var isSquareTriangularNumber = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-square-triangular-number' );

// returns true

bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( new Number( 36.0 ) );
// returns true

bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( 0.0 );
// returns true

bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( 1.0 );
// returns true

bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( 3.14 );
// returns false

bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( -5.0 );
// returns false

bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( NaN );
// returns false

bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( '0.5' );
// returns false

bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( null );
// returns false
