Triangular

The document explains how to compute triangular numbers, which are formed by adding consecutive integers starting from 1. It provides a Java program that takes an integer input n and calculates the nth triangular number using the formula n(n+1)/2. An example execution is included, demonstrating the program's functionality when the user inputs the number 5, resulting in the output of the 5th triangular number as 15.

A triangular number is formed by the addition of consecutive

integers starting with 1. For example,


1+2=3
1+2+3=6
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
Thus, 3, 6, 10, 15, are triangular numbers.
Write a program in Java to display all the triangular numbers
from 3 to n, taking the value of n as an input.

Triangular Number in Java

A triangular number is the sum of the first natural numbers. It follows the formula:

Variable Description Table

Variable Name Data Type Description


n int Input number for which the triangular number is to be found.
triangularNum int Stores the computed triangular number using the formula.

Algorithm

1. Start

2. Take an integer input n from the user.

3. Compute the triangular number using the formula:

4. Print the computed triangular number.

5. End

Java Implementation

import java.util.Scanner;

public class TriangularNumber {


public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create Scanner object for user input
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
// Prompt the user for input
System.out.print("Enter a number to find its triangular number: ");
int n = scanner.nextInt();

// Compute the triangular number


int triangularNum = (n * (n + 1)) / 2;

// Display the result


System.out.println("The " + n + "th triangular number is: " +
triangularNum);

// Close the scanner


scanner.close();
}
}

Example Execution

Input:

Enter a number to find its triangular number: 5

Output:

The 5th triangular number is: 15

This program efficiently computes the triangular number for any given integer input using the
direct mathematical formula.
