A Kaprekar number is a number whose square when divided into two parts and such that sum of parts is equal to the original number and none of the parts has value 0. (Source : Wiki)
Given a number, the task is to check if it is Kaprekar number or not.
Examples: 
 

Input :  n = 45  
Output : Yes
Explanation : 452 = 2025 and 20 + 25 is 45
 
Input : n = 13
Output : No
Explanation : 132 = 169. Neither 16 + 9 nor 1 + 69 is equal to 13

Input  : n = 297  
Output : Yes
Explanation:  2972 = 88209 and 88 + 209 is 297

Input  : n = 10 
Output : No
Explanation:  102 = 100. It is not a Kaprekar number even if
sum of 100 + 0 is 100. This is because of the condition that 
none of the parts should have value 0.

 

Recommended Practice

 

  1. Find square of n and count number of digits in square.
  2. Split square at different positions and see if sum of two parts in any split becomes equal to n.

Below is implementation of the idea.
 

C++




//C++ program to check if a number is Kaprekar number or not
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
// Returns true if n is a Kaprekar number, else false
bool iskaprekar(int n)
{
    if (n == 1)
    return true;
  
    // Count number of digits in square
    int sq_n = n * n;
    int count_digits = 0;
    while (sq_n)
    {
        count_digits++;
        sq_n /= 10;
    }
  
    sq_n = n*n; // Recompute square as it was changed
  
    // Split the square at different points and see if sum
    // of any pair of splitted numbers is equal to n.
    for (int r_digits=1; r_digits<count_digits; r_digits++)
    {
        int eq_parts = pow(10, r_digits);
  
        // To avoid numbers like 10, 100, 1000 (These are not
        // Kaprekar numbers
        if (eq_parts == n)
            continue;
  
        // Find sum of current parts and compare with n
        int sum = sq_n/eq_parts + sq_n % eq_parts;
        if (sum == n)
        return true;
    }
  
    // compare with original number
    return false;
}
  
// Driver code
int main()
{
cout << "Printing first few Kaprekar Numbers"
        " using iskaprekar()\n";
for (int i=1; i<10000; i++)
    if (iskaprekar(i))
        cout << i << " ";
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java program to check if a number is 
// Kaprekar number or not
  
class GFG 
{
    // Returns true if n is a Kaprekar number, else false
    static boolean iskaprekar(int n)
    {
        if (n == 1)
           return true;
       
        // Count number of digits in square
        int sq_n = n * n;
        int count_digits = 0;
        while (sq_n != 0)
        {
            count_digits++;
            sq_n /= 10;
        }
       
        sq_n = n*n; // Recompute square as it was changed
       
        // Split the square at different points and see if sum
        // of any pair of splitted numbers is equal to n.
        for (int r_digits=1; r_digits<count_digits; r_digits++)
        {
             int eq_parts = (int) Math.pow(10, r_digits);
       
             // To avoid numbers like 10, 100, 1000 (These are not
             // Kaprekar numbers
             if (eq_parts == n)
                continue;
       
             // Find sum of current parts and compare with n
             int sum = sq_n/eq_parts + sq_n % eq_parts;
             if (sum == n)
               return true;
        }
       
        // compare with original number
        return false;
    }
      
    // Driver method
    public static void main (String[] args)
    {
        System.out.println("Printing first few Kaprekar Numbers" +
                             " using iskaprekar()");
          
        for (int i=1; i<10000; i++)
            if (iskaprekar(i))
                 System.out.print(i + " ");
    }
}
