Given two given numbers a and b where 1 <= a <= b, find perfect cubes between a and b (a and b inclusive).
Examples: 
 

Input  :  a = 1, b = 100
Output : 1 8 27 64
Perfect cubes in the given range are 
1, 8, 27, 64

Input :  a = 24, b = 576
Output : 27 64 125 216 343 512
Perfect cubes in the given range are 
27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512

 

Recommended Practice

This problem is similar to Perfect squares between two numbers.
Method 1 (Naive) : One naive approach is to check all the numbers between a and b (inclusive a and b) 
and print the perfect cube. Following is the code for the above approach: 
 

C++




// A Simple Method to count cubes between a and b
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
void printCubes(int a, int b)
{
    // Traverse through all numbers in given range
    // and one by one check if number is prime
    for (int i = a; i <= b; i++) {
        // Check if current number 'i'
        // is perfect cube
        for (int j = 1; j * j * j <= i; j++) {
            if (j * j * j == i) {
                cout << j * j * j << "  ";
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}
  
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int a = 1, b = 100;
    cout << "Perfect cubes in given range:\n ";
    printCubes(a, b);
    return 0;
}


Java




// A Simple Method to count cubes between a and b
  
class Test {
  
    static void printCubes(int a, int b)
    {
  
        // Traverse through all numbers in given range
        // and one by one check if number is prime
        for (int i = a; i <= b; i++) {
  
            // Check if current number 'i'
            // is perfect cube
            for (int j = 1; j * j * j <= i; j++) {
                if (j * j * j == i) {
                    System.out.print(j * j * j + "  ");
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    // Driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int a = 1, b = 100;
        System.out.println("Perfect cubes in given range:");
        printCubes(a, b);
    }
}


Python3




# A Simple Method to count cubes between a and b
  
def printCubes(a, b) :
    # Traverse through all numbers in given range
    # and one by one check if number is prime
    for i in range(a, b + 1) :
          
        # Check if current number 'i'
        # is perfect cube
        j = 1
        for j in range(j ** 3, i + 1 ) :
              
            if (j ** 3 == i) :
                print( j ** 3, end = " ")
                break
              
  
# Driver code
  
a = 1; b = 100
print("Perfect cubes in given range: ")
printCubes(a, b)

    {
          
        // Check if current number 'i'

        for (let j = 1; j * j * j <= i; j++)
        {
            if (j * j * j == i)
            {
                document.write(j * j * j + " ");
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}
      
    // Driver Code
    let a = 1;
    let b = 100;
    document.write("Perfect cubes in given range: <br> ");
    printCubes(a, b);
  
// This code is contributed by gfgking.
  
</script>


Output : 
 

Perfect cubes in given range:
 1 8 27 64

Method 2 (Efficient): 
We can simply take cube root of ‘a’ and cube root of ‘b’ and print the cubes of number between them.
 

1-  Given a = 24 b = 576

2-  acr = cbrt(a))  bcr = cbrt(b)
    acr = 3 and bcr = 8

3-  Print cubes of 3 to 8 that comes under 
    the range of a and b(including a and b
    both)
    27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512

Below is implementation of above steps. 
 

C++




// Efficient method to print cubes
// between a and b
#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
  
// An efficient solution to print perfect
// cubes between a and b
void printCubes(int a, int b)
{
    // Find cube root of both a and b
    int acrt = cbrt(a);
    int bcrt = cbrt(b);
  
    // Print cubes between acrt and bcrt
    for (int i = acrt; i <= bcrt; i++)
        if (i * i * i >= a && i * i * i <= b)
            cout << i * i * i << " ";
}
  
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int a = 24, b = 576;
    cout << "Perfect cubes in given range:\n";
    printCubes(a, b);
  
    return 0;
