This challenge wants you to return the first triangular number that has over 500 factors. This challenge was a 2 part, first you have to be able to calculate out a "triangular number" which they define as a natural number added upon itself (similar to Fibonacci numbers) so that the 7th number in the series would be 1+2+3+4+5+6+7 or 28. The second part is being able to quickly calculate all the factors of a number. This was relatively straight forward, so I'll just post the code, there are comments in certain areas as to why I chose to do it like I did.
Program.csusing System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Diagnostics; namespace ProjectEuler_12 { internal class Program { private static HashSetGetMultiples(long num) { // use a hashset to guarantee uniqueness HashSet multiples = new HashSet { 1L, num }; long root = (long)Math.Sqrt(num); // we only need to loop up to the square root of the num // because we're getting both the low and high factor of the num at once // no number could be higher than root*root for (long i = 2; i <= root; i++) { if (num % i == 0) { multiples.Add(i); multiples.Add(num / i); } } return multiples; } private static void Main(string[] args) { IEnumerable triangularNumbers = TriangularNumberGenerator(); int multipleCount = 0; using (var enumerator = triangularNumbers.GetEnumerator()) { long count = 0; long highestMultipleCountAchieved = 0; while (multipleCount < 500) { enumerator.MoveNext(); count++; multipleCount = GetMultiples(enumerator.Current).Count; if (multipleCount > highestMultipleCountAchieved) { highestMultipleCountAchieved = multipleCount; Debug.WriteLine("Number: {2}, Index: {0}, Multiple Count: {1}", count, highestMultipleCountAchieved, enumerator.Current); } } Console.WriteLine("First triangular number index to have 500 multiples: {0}\r\nTriangular Number: {1}", count, enumerator.Current); } } /// <summary> /// The sequence of triangle numbers is generated by adding the natural numbers. /// </summary> /// <returns></returns> private static IEnumerable TriangularNumberGenerator() { long prevNum = 0; long sum = 0; while (true) { sum += ++prevNum; // use of yield return lets us go up as high as we need and only // as high as we need in this infinite series yield return sum; } } } }
Fantastic web site. A lot of helpful information here. I am sending it to a few friends anns additionally sharing in delicious. And of course, thanks on your effort! https://odessaforum.biz.ua/
