Find the Largest N digit perfect square number in Base B

Last Updated : 24 Mar, 2021

Given two integers N and B, the task is to find the largest N digit numbers of Base B which is a perfect square.
Examples:

Input: N = 2, B = 10
Output: 81
Explanation:
81 is the largest 2-digit perfect square in base 10.
Input: N = 1, B = 8
Output: 4
Explanation:
4 is the largest 1 digit Octal number which is also a perfect square.

Approach: The largest number N in base B is given by $B^N-1$ . So if we find the square root of this number in integer form and then we have to again do its square then it will be the largest perfect square of N digits which is given by the formula: $\left\lfloor\sqrt{B^N-1}\right\rfloor^2$ .
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation to find Largest
// N digit perfect square number in Base B
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the
// largest N digit number
void nDigitPerfectSquares(int n, int b)
{
    // Largest n-digit perfect square
    int largest
        = pow(ceil(sqrt(pow(b, n))) - 1, 2);
 
    // Print the result
    cout << largest;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int N = 1, B = 8;
 
    nDigitPerfectSquares(N, B);
 
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java implementation to find largest N
// digit perfect square number in base B
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
 
class GFG {
     
// Function to find the
// largest N digit number
static double nDigitPerfectSquares(int n, int b)
{
     
    // Largest n-digit perfect square
    double largest = Math.pow(Math.ceil
                             (Math.sqrt
                             (Math.pow(b, n))) - 1, 2);
     
    // Print the result
    return largest;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int N = 1, B = 8;
    System.out.println(nDigitPerfectSquares(N, B));
}
}

    # Print the result
