Given an integer N, the task is to find the number of cells in Nth order figure of the given type: 
 

Examples: 
 

Input: N = 2 
Output: 5
Input: N = 3 
Output: 13 
 

 

Approach: It can be observed that for the values of N = 1, 2, 3, … a series will be formed as 1, 5, 13, 25, 41, 61, 85, 113, 145, 181, … whose Nth term will be N2 + (N – 1)2.
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the number
// of cells in the nth order
// figure of the given type
int cntCells(int n)
{
    int cells = pow(n, 2) + pow(n - 1, 2);
    return cells;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 3;
 
    cout << cntCells(n);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the approach
class GFG
{
     
// Function to return the number
// of cells in the nth order
// figure of the given type
static int cntCells(int n)
{
    int cells = (int)Math.pow(n, 2) +
                (int)Math.pow(n - 1, 2);
    return cells;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int n = 3;
 
    System.out.println(cntCells(n));
}
}

Python3




# Python3 implementation of the approach
 
# Function to return the number
# of cells in the nth order
# figure of the given type
def cntCells(n) :
 
    cells = pow(n, 2) + pow(n - 1, 2);
     
    return cells;
 
# Driver code
if __name__ == "__main__" :
 
    n = 3;
 
    print(cntCells(n));

C#




// C# implementation of the approach
using System;
     
class GFG
{
     
// Function to return the number
// of cells in the nth order
// figure of the given type
static int cntCells(int n)
{
    int cells = (int)Math.Pow(n, 2) +
                (int)Math.Pow(n - 1, 2);
    return cells;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void Main(String[] args)
{
    int n = 3;
 
    Console.WriteLine(cntCells(n));
}
}

Javascript




<script>
 
// Javascript implementation of the approach
 
// Function to return the number
// of cells in the nth order
// figure of the given type
function cntCells(n)
{
    var cells = Math.pow(n, 2) + Math.pow(n - 1, 2);
    return cells;
}
 
// Driver code
var n = 3;
document.write(cntCells(n));
 
 
</script>


Output: 

13

 

Time Complexity: O(1)
Auxiliary Space: O(1), as no extra space is required
