Sum of all the numbers in the Nth row of the given triangle

Last Updated : 01 Apr, 2021

Given a positive integer N, the task is to find the sum of all the numbers in the N^th row of the below triangle.

1
3 2
6 2 3
10 2 3 4
15 2 3 4 5
…
…
…

Examples:

Input: N = 2
Output: 5
3 + 2 = 5
Input: N = 3
Output: 11
6 + 2 + 3 = 11

Approach: Taking a closer look at the pattern, it can be observed that a series will be formed as 1, 5, 11, 19, 29, 41, 55, … whose N^th term is (N – 1) + N².
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 sum
// of the nth row elements of
// the given triangle
int getSum(int n)
{
    return ((n - 1) + pow(n, 2));
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 3;
 
    cout << getSum(n);
 
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java implementation of the approach
class GFG
{
     
// Function to return the sum
// of the nth row elements of
// the given triangle
static int getSum(int n)
{
    return ((n - 1) + (int)Math.pow(n, 2));
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int n = 3;
 
    System.out.println(getSum(n));
}
}

Python3

# Python3 implementation of the approach
 
# Function to return the sum
# of the nth row elements of
# the given triangle
def getSum(n) :
 
    return ((n - 1) + pow(n, 2));
 
# Driver code
if __name__ == "__main__" :
 
    n = 3;
 
    print(getSum(n));

C#

// C# implementation of the approach
using System;
     
class GFG
{
     
// Function to return the sum
// of the nth row elements of
// the given triangle
static int getSum(int n)
{
    return ((n - 1) + (int)Math.Pow(n, 2));
}
 
// Driver code
public static void Main(String[] args)
{
    int n = 3;
 
    Console.WriteLine(getSum(n));
}
}

// Javascript implementation of the approach
 
// Function to return the sum
// of the nth row elements of
// the given triangle
function getSum(n)
{
    return ((n - 1) + Math.pow(n, 2));
}
