Check if count of divisors is even or odd

Given a number “n”, find its total number of divisors are even or odd.
Examples :

Input  : n = 10      
Output : Even

Input:  n = 100
Output: Odd

Input:  n = 125
Output: Even

We strongly recommend that you click here and practice it, before moving on to the solution.

A naive approach would be to find all the divisors and then see if the total number of divisors is even or odd.
Time complexity for such a solution would be O(sqrt(n))

// Naive Solution to find

using namespace std;

// Function to count
// the divisors
void countDivisors(int n)
{
    // Initialize count
    // of divisors
    int count = 0;

    // Note that this
    // loop runs till
    // square root
    for (int i = 1; i <= sqrt(n) + 1; i++)
    {
        if (n % i == 0)

            // If divisors are
            // equal increment
            // count by one
            // Otherwise increment
            // count by 2
            count += (n / i == i) ? 1 : 2;
    }

    if (count % 2 == 0)
        cout << "Even" << endl;
    else

Output : 

The count of divisor: Even 

Time Complexity: O(√n) 
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Efficient Solution: 
We can observe that the number of divisors is odd only in case of perfect squares. Hence the best solution would be to check if the given number is perfect square or not. If it’s a perfect square, then the number of divisors would be odd, else it’d be even.
Below is the implementation of above idea :

C++

// C++ program for
// Efficient Solution to find
// if count of divisors is
// even or odd
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to find if count
// of divisors is even or
// odd
void countDivisors(int n)
{
    int root_n = sqrt(n);

    // If n is a perfect square,
    // then it has odd divisors
    if (root_n * root_n == n)
        printf("Odd\n");
    else
        printf("Even\n");
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
    cout << "The count of divisors"
         << " of 10 is: ";

    countDivisors(14);
    return 0;
}

        // If n is a perfect square,
        // then, it has odd divisors
        if (root_n * root_n == n)
            System.out.println("Odd");

        else
            System.out.println("Even");
