Pizza cut problem (Or Circle Division by Lines)

Given number of cuts, find the maximum number of possible pieces.
Examples:

Input  : 2
Output : 4

Input  : 3
Output : 7

This problem is nothing but The Lazy Caterer’s Problem and has below formula.
Maximum number of pieces = 1 + n*(n+1)/2
Refer this for proof.

C++

// C++ program to find maximum no of pieces
// by given number of cuts
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function for finding maximum pieces
// with n cuts.
int findMaximumPieces(int n)
{
   return 1 + n*(n+1)/2;
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
   cout << findMaximumPieces(3);
   return 0;
}

Java

// Java program to find maximum no of
// pieces by given number of cuts
class GFG {

    // Function for finding maximum pieces
    // with n cuts.
    static int findMaximumPieces(int n)
    {
        return 1 + n * (n + 1) / 2;
    }

    // Driver Program to test above function
    public static void main(String arg[])
    {

        System.out.print(findMaximumPieces(3));
    }
}
