Given the side of the Octahedron then calculate the volume of Octahedron.
Examples: 
 

Input : 3
Output : 12.7279

Input : 7
Output : 161.692

 

A regular Octahedron has eight faces,twelve edges and six vertices. It has eight triangles with edges of equal length and effectively two square pyramids meeting at their bases.

Properties of Octahedron: 
Number of faces: 8 
Number of edges: 12 
Number of vertices: 6 
Volume = √2/3 × a3 where a is the side of Octahedron

Output: 
 

 Volume of octahedron = 12.7279

Time complexity : O(1) 
Auxiliary Space : O(1)
